 TODDLER PROGRAM
This program is comprised of children between 18 months and three years of age. The goal of this program is to provide the young child with a learning experience away from home and parents, to foster independence and a healthy self-image, and to develop a positive attitude toward learning.
Early childhood education has come to accept today what Maria Montessori discovered so long ago: children under six have extraordinary, often untapped mental capacity. They possess a once in a lifetime ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings just by living. This "absorbent mind" is at its peak receptivity during the first six years of age, when the personality is established. The toddler program not only enhances children's knowledge, independence, and trust in their own abilities, but it also establishes a foundation for the rest of their lives. In addition the children are introduced to both the English and Spanish languages.
