This type of learning often, but not always, in a group is critical before joining the children’s house at about age 3. These 18 months establish close relationships among children, teachers and their activity. Rich materials and open spaces are used with the children.
Toddlers are developing new language skills, physical control and awareness. They enjoy participation in planned group activities but are not expected to sit still or work in a group for very long. Our skilled caregivers provide dependable but flexible opportunities to learn skills, understanding and judgment in individual ways help by spaces available indoors and outdoors. Learning activities use rich quality materials in the program and process.
The program is designed to prepare the child for the next step of practical life, sensorial experience, language, mathematics, culture and art/music Montessori Learning in the Children’s House after 33 to 36 months. The future learning activities use many self-correcting rich high quality materials in the program and process.
Children need a rich engaging environment that is physically and emotionally secure. We create a sense of community where children notice and care about each other. We have plenty of space inside and out to help children fill their need for large motor activities.
Toddlers are always ready to learn. The care they receive now will have a powerful influence on how they view the world, relate to others, and succeed as learners.
At Peaceful Heights Montessori our program is set up to follow the specific guidelines. We do ongoing assessments for each child. Including careful observation while children play and explore their surroundings. This process helps us create learning activities and experiences that will be the most meaningful to each child. We hold conferences twice a year and always look forward to our parent’s feedback.
