The Toddler Program is designed to meet the special needs of toddlers. Dr. Montessori realized that once a child stands upright and walks he or she experiences a “second birth.” Having the independence for free movement the child is able to move into the larger social community.The toddler environment is divided into several areas including:  movement, eating, bathroom, and cognitive materials. The environment fosters independence, trust, and individual achievement as well as a strong self esteem.
