Toddler Program

18 months - 3 years

In the toddler classroom, children work independently and acquire self-discipline and a higher maturity level academically and emotionally.  The class environment awakens their natural curiosity by allowing freedom to explore and discover.  Montessori philosophy holds that all human beings are intelligent and that learning is a natural process.   

Unlike traditional preschool environments, the Montessori toddler classroom is specially prepared to meet the developmental needs of a young child.  The classroom is furnished with miniature tables and chairs and didactic materials that offer toddlers the opportunity to exercise their senses and develop of independence.

Subject Areas


Toddlers work with materials in the following subject areas: practical life, sensorial, language and art.  In the practical life area, children develop independence, concentration, coordination and a sense of order.  Toddlers participate in both music and Spanish classes each week.

Learning social skills is a big part of a toddler’s development.  Great attention is given to helping the children identify their feelings and express them appropriately.

Goals


Pebblecreek's toddler program offers a child the opportunity to grow socially, emotionally and cognitively through real and positive interactions and carefully chosen materials.  The sequence of activities in the toddler environment helps give order, consistency and security to each child’s daily life.
