Your child, according to Dr. Maria Montessori, is in the midst of experiencing their sensitive period for acquisition of language and developmental stage of the Absorbent Mind. The Absorbent Mind is the stage of development you 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 heretofore 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example of a typical day in our Toddler Room:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Independence<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The educator\u2019s main objective for their students is to encourage gross and fine motor skills, and their confidence in their own 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Routine<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We provide a consistent routine each day; children rely on this consistency, it provides comfort and security to our younger students.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #afafaf;\">\n<h3>Contcat form<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f14-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"14\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/melissa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/363#wpcf7-f14-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"14\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.0.3\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f14-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required form-control\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Name\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email form-control\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Email\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-phone\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-tel wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-tel form-control\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Phone\" value=\"\" type=\"tel\" name=\"your-phone\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"3\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea form-control\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Your Message\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span><br \/>\n<input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner btn btn-black btn-lg pull-right\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Self-Control<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This begins by the educator giving simple instructions that the children are able to 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Clean Up<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our little ones are taught from day one how to properly clean up after they complete their works, 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 \u2018for\u2019 the child, but rather to promote independence and a \u2018can do\u2019 attitude. Helplessness is often a learned attribute, and an attribute we do not promote, rather we support the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Potty Training and the Daily Sheet<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the time potty training begins. The educator has the little ones go to the rest room every 45 minutes. The children learn how to be kind if someone has an accident, how to wait their turn, and 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 homelife can mirror school and visa-versa. A daily sheet goes home with each child every day to update their families of behavior, eating habits, potty training, and their sleeping habits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Daily Activities<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>AM:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Line Time, Games, Songs, Montessori Lessons<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montessori Work Time, Practical Life and Sensorial Lessons \/ Art \/ Potty Training<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snack Time \/ PottyTraining<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play and Outdoor Playground; Depending on the weather, our gymnasium is also available<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Line Time \/ Potty Training<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lunch<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potty Training<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nap Time<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wake \/ Potty Training<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play Outside, weather permitting<\/span><\/li><li>The schedule repeats in the afternoon, minus the nap<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Afternoon Repeats minus the nap.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinnaclemontessori.com\/melissa\/schedule-a-tour\/\">Schedule A Tour<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visit-our-classroom\">Visit Our Classroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1623714591850!6m8!1m7!1sCAoSLEFGMVFpcE13TXd4TWhtSjVmTUZ1NF9OM2pUUVQwcklpTElyangzOFExWGND!2m2!1d33.13194393!2d-96.82723314!3f132.9130687849199!4f-2.780761191202032!5f0.5970117501821992\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe>\n<\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toddler Montessori School Near Melissa \u201cThe goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child\u2019s own natural desire to learn\u201d Dr. Maria Montessori The Toddler Environment is unique as it provides a \u2018home-away-from-home\u2019 atmosphere allowing your child the security to relax and embrace the Montessori learning paradigm as it applies to their age [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-363","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Toddler Montessori School Near Melissa | Melissa TX Toddler Montessori School |Toddler Montessori Education in Melissa Texas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pinnacle Montessori school is recognized for providing high-quality, traditional toddler Montessori education.
