“The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s natural desire to learn” Dr. Maria Montessori.
The Toddler Montessori Program is unique as it provides a ‘home-away-from-home’ atmosphere allowing your child the security to relax and embrace the Montessori learning paradigm as it applies to their age group. They have become more mobile thus allowing these amazing little ones the opportunity to foster more independent explorations within their classroom, be given proper Montessori lessons, and gain awareness of the concepts of empathy, sharing, and working together.
Our educators are specially trained in Toddler Montessori Program for this age group, to provide exceptional guidance for your little one during this crucial period during their development. According to Dr. Maria Montessori, your child is experiencing a sensitive period for the acquisition of language and the developmental stage of the Absorbent Mind. The Absorbent Mind is the stage of development your child has begun at birth and will continue through to about their sixth year, these little ones will absorb information at a rate that will be previously unmatched throughout the remainder of their lives. Providing a rich, Montessori learning environment, is crucial for their successful development. Pinnacle Montessori does precisely that for your child, in a safe and loving environment.
The educator’s primary objective for their students is to encourage gross and fine motor skills and their confidence in their independence. Children at this age are much more capable of doing for themselves than they are given credit, especially when we give them the opportunity.
We provide a consistent routine each day; children rely on this consistency, and it provides comfort and security to our younger students.
Toddler Montessori Program begins with the educator giving simple instructions that the children can follow, then increasing the instruction from the simple to one direction, and then to more than one direction at a time, this must be followed in sequence. How is this accomplished? Line time, games, songs, and the Montessori work cycle. This is the classroom practice of choosing a work, completing it, and then placing it back on the shelf where it belongs. The children also learn to ask for a lesson before taking a work they have not first been given a lesson on. Success is due to routine and practice.
Our little ones are taught from day one how to properly clean up after they complete their work, and after they eat their meals. Of course, their teachers will come behind them to ensure all is pristine, but the goal is not to complete the task ‘for’ the child, but rather to promote independence and a ‘can do’ attitude. Helplessness is often a learned attribute, and an attribute we do not promote, rather we support the child.
This is the time potty training begins. The educator has the little ones go to the restroom every 45 minutes. The children learn how to be kind if someone has an accident, how to wait their turn, and how to encourage their friends on their potty-training journey. As they get older, they are encouraged to go to the bathroom on their own. The educators are always in close contact with parents during this process so home life can mirror school and vice versa. A daily sheet goes home with each child every day to update their families on behavior, eating habits, potty training, and sleeping habits.
