Toddler
Curriculum "The first few years of a
child's life are the most formative years. It is a time when children
effortlessly absorb concepts and habits.
It is also the period when roots for a love of learning are
established. If our own adult
ability be compared with the child's, we should need sixty years of hard work
to do what he/she does in three." Dr. Maria Montessori Think about your child. Observe. At this age, what makes your child happiest? Chances are he or she is attracted to the surroundings which are constant in pattern and arrangement, and activities that are routine and have order. At the same time, you'll probably find your toddler noticing what adults don't... tiny objects, hidden corners and faint noises. According to Dr. Maria Montessori, children absorb their environment unconsciously and enjoy learning most during the first three years of their lives. You can help channel your child's natural curiosity into positive learning experiences in Montessori By The Sea's Toddler Program. Classrooms are carefully planned to meet the needs of toddlers and organized for their convenience. Areas of learning are defined, yet the space is open to allow plenty of room for social interaction and activities required for growth and development. Teachers lead classes using age appropriate Montessori materials and activities that are designed to arouse their interest and involvement. Areas of interest include language, basic mathematical and numerical concepts, practical life, sensory and perception, and physical and motor. Children do not need to be toilet-trained for acceptance into the Toddler Program, and although toilet-training is primarily a parental responsibility, we will reinforce and aid in the process. |
