TODDLER

18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS OLD

The Montessori Home School toddler program represents the youngest age level in our nurturing Montessori educational community. 
Children are engaged in their classroom by real life activities, using child-sized materials that foster their emerging independence. 
The toddler environment is designed to honor a young child’s natural need for movement, “sensory experience”, and meaningful work.
Toddlers may enroll with these options: 
Half-day (starts at 09:00am, ends at 11:45am) or All-day (ends at 05:30pm).

Mario Montessori From the writings of Mario Montessori’s daughter, Marilena Henny – Montessori: Mario Montessori - a simple man, an innocent man.

The First Casa dei Bambini

The First Casa dei Bambini San Lorenzo, 1907 The first Montessori environment was opened on the 6 January 1907 in San Lorenzo, Italy, by Dr Maria Montessori. Through Dr Montessori's observations and work with these children she discovered their astonishing, almost effortless ability to learn. Children taught themselves! This simple but profound truth formed the cornerstone of her life-long pursuit of educational reform. The following is a summary of a talk by Dr. Maria Montessori to her students on the 6th January 1942, celebrating the anniversary of the inauguration day of the first House of Children: Today is the anniversary of the opening of the first House of Children. When I tell you briefly how it started, the few words of its history will seem like a fairy-tale, but their message may also prove useful. Many times people ask with doubt in their minds whether the method is suitable for poor children and whether it is at all adaptable to them. In order tha...
