A Montessori classroom for toddlers safely supports your child’s drive to do things alone, developing confidence and a sense of competence.
The environment is language-rich, with adults using proper nomenclature rather than baby talk so that the children are exposed to and develop a broad vocabulary.
In this learning environment, children work independently, observe others, explore freely, and express their curiosity and creativity.
A self-care area fosters toilet awareness and independence in maintaining personal hygiene (such as learning how to wipe one’s nose and wash hands independently).
There is also an area for gross motor activities to help children coordinate their movements.
