 TODDLER PROGRAM
This program is open to children ages 18 months to three years. The goal of this program is to provide the young child with a learning experience away from home and parents, to foster self-confidence and a good self-image, and to develop a positive attitude towards learning.
Early childhood education has come to accept today what Maria Montessori discovered so long ago: children under six have extraordinary powers of mind. They have 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 the foundations for the rest of their lives. In addition the children are introduced to English and Spanish.
