​

Typical Day for Toddler:

​

Arrival: Toddlers arrive for the school day between 8:30 AM and 8:45 AM. They start their day by hanging up their coats, putting away their lunches, and greeting their teachers and friends.

​

Work Cycle: Children have an uninterrupted morning of hands-on activities, and the teachers work with children one-on-one or in small groups.

 

Types of activities include:

​

• Practical Life: Children delight in doing activities from everyday life that are scaled down to toddler size. Examples include pouring, scooping, transferring, flower arranging, and practicing zippers.

• Fine Motor: We have variety of manipulatives, such as puzzles, shape sorters, and stringing beads.

• Language: We offer language objects, pictures, songs, books, and poems.

• Art: The Montessori philosophy is “process oriented, not product driven” and we have all kinds of media for children to explore including paint, clay, finger crayons, and chalk.

• Outdoors: Weather permitting, we spend a time outdoors in our playground.

• Lunch: We have a group lunch at 12 PM.  Toddlers retrieve their own lunch pails, open up their lunch boxes and clean up after themselves afterwards.

• Half-day children go home at 12:30 PM

• Nap: Children start napping between 12:30 - 12:45 PM

• Afternoon: Toddlers eat a snack, continue exploring the classroom until their parents pick them up. The school day ends at 3:30 pm

• Toileting: Using the toilet is part of the routine throughout the day. To facilitate toilet learning, all children wear pull-ups or underwear, no diapers. We help with toilet training and partner with parents on best practices for the youngest students.
