Dr. Maria Montessori believed that the child is the creator of itself to be, not an intelligently void being who would be filled with information by adults and molded into something characteristic of the adults found around the child. She felt that the development of the human behavior happened in the first three years of life. That it was developed through the following: Physical growth, imitation of others, nutrition, physical environment, and very importantly, the human or emotional environment; how the adult responds to the child's needs.

Our program for the toddler class offers an environment that contains the following:   Safe, closely supervised, clean physical space that includes an abundance of developmental appropriate material for the children to manipulate. Staff that offers each child a total feeling of love, security and acceptance through consistent daily nurturing and personal interactions. Staff that speaks with respect and clarity of vocabulary to all ages to further the development of each child's use of language. Daily scheduled routine which allows each child to have maximum freedom of movement no manner what their level of physical development. Carefully organized opportunities which allow a toddler to loam discipline through consideration and respect towards others. Purposely arranged material which allows the toddler entering the Stage of Order to satisfy this need. Continuous opportunities for a toddler to solely observe, choose and interact with any material and/or activity during the day which satisfies the need for independence from the adult.
