TODDLER PROGRAM (18 Mths TO 3 Yrs)
Young children between the ages of 18 months and 2.5 years are like a sponge, absorbing endless amounts of knowledge from their environment. They do this effortlessly and retain a lot of knowledge in their subconscious. Dr. Montessori identified this fertile period of cognitive development, and recognized the need for a rich, well-prepared environment just for toddlers.
“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.” – Maria Montessori.
