Montessori Toddler Classroom

Between eighteen months and three years, children crave the ability to do things independently. This might be why your child snaps at you when you try to help them do something when they know they can do it independently. Within the Montessori classroom, a focus of the curriculum is helping children gain confidence in many daily activities, which allows them to gain a sense of competence.

Since toddlers crave freedom, the environment of the Toddler classroom is prepared to maximize on their desires. The setting has child-sized furniture and is welcoming and bright. There are soft, cushioned rugs and seats. Books are available on accessible shelves and baskets. The color scheme of the furniture and toys are muted, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
