TODDLER PROGRAM (21 months through 3-year-olds)
Overview
Our Toddler Program provides a stimulating opportunity for very young children with a child to adult ratio of 6 to 1. Children this age not only need a loving, nurturing environment, but are also very capable of learning. Socialization, language development, care of self, manipulative skills, and independence are emphasized. The Montessori teaching method provides a basis for individualized learning activities.
