Toddler Program

A gentle start to independence

Our Toddler Program is designed for curious, busy little ones aged 2 to under 3 years. It’s a stage filled with discovery — about the world and about themselves — and we provide a safe, nurturing space where every child can explore at their own pace while gaining confidence and independence.

Our Approach

Introducing more independence, hands-on activities, and early self-help skills.

Our teacher guides:

  • Meet each child where they are developmentally

  • Provide gentle guidance in new skills like feeding themselves, dressing, and tidying their workspace

  • Encourage curiosity while supporting emotional and social growth

  • Maintain open communication with families to celebrate progress and navigate challenges together

Our Classroom

Toddlers share space with infants in Classroom 1 or transition into Classroom 2 as they are ready for more challenging materials

The space is:

  • Warm, welcoming, and child-centered

  • Stocked with low shelves and accessible activities

  • Organized to encourage free choice and self-direction

  • Designed for both quiet focus and active exploration

Small Ratios, Big Connections

With a ratio of 5 children to 1 teacher, our toddlers receive plenty of one-on-one attention. 

Many begin their journey in our Infant Program, and when they turn two, we guarantee their spot as they move up — providing a smooth, familiar transition.

Montessori Foundations

At this age, learning is everywhere — from pouring water to matching colors. Our classrooms are filled with carefully chosen Montessori materials

  • Develop fine and gross motor skills

  • Strengthen concentration and focus

  • Introduce early problem-solving and sequencing

  • Lay the groundwork for future learning in language, math, science, and cultural studies

 

Practical Life and Sensorial activities take center stage, helping toddlers build independence, coordination, and awareness of the world around them.

Extra Enrichment

Toddlers also enjoy special activities throughout the week
