Our Toddler Program is located and running as two Home Licensed programs with a capacity for 31 kids in total (16 kids in Morris house and 15 kids in Farm House)
Our program is based on respect for the child and his or her developmental needs. Through observation, we are able to help those in search of an activity or those in need of appropriate assistance. We refrain from doing for the children what they can do for themselves, offering opportunities to acquire the skills necessary for independence. We help the child be independent by helping them feel capable! Our Montessori classroom sets them up for success with self-correction materials and the freedom to explore their specially prepared environment. We provide a safe and secure environment, showing them we will love them unconditionally as they find their sense of self. We read to children and have a lot of books for them to explore on their own.
​
We avoid fantasy during the first three years so that children can develop a better understanding of their place in the world. Artwork is available for viewing, and we expose your child to a variety of creative activities and fine art.

PRACTICAL LIFE: Toddlers want to be active members in their community, so we support their growth and development by teaching them control of movement, care of the person, and the environment in a Montessori classroom.
SENSORIAL: Through exploration of their senses, toddlers have varied and important experiences such as smelling different essences, tasting different foods, feeling textures, differentiating sounds, and observing all the world around them.
LANGUAGE: Communication is one of the most important areas of development for toddlers. They learn new words daily in the environment or through conversations with peers and teachers.
MATH: Order is an important area of work with toddlers. They learn sequences and prepare for academic math.
ART, MUSIC, AND MOVEMENT: Our daily curriculum includes Creative expression and exploration. Music and movement support the child's development of body awareness and rhythm through line activities, finger play, songs, and music activities.
GARDENING: Gardening helps increase environmental awareness by allowing students to connect positively to plants, animals, and the environment through hands-on experience.
