The toddler program typically accepts students from about 24 months to 36 months. This classroom focuses on the five learning fundamentals of Montessori, practical life, language, math, sensorial, and cultural. They develop their fine motor skills through pencil gripping (to begin writing), pouring, scooping, and sorting. We have a heavy emphasis on speech development and phonics through our use of sound cards and circle time activities. At this age we encourage our students to complete their activities fully and clean up independently to encourage focus and build their attention-span.
