Young Toddler Program

Young Toddler Program 1 to 2 Years

The Toddler program at New Horizons Montessori Academy is for children 12 months to 2 years of age.  We believe in each child’s growth and development. We implement our  belief with a rich and and well prepared environment designed just for toddlers. In this program we take advantage of the toddler’s natural drive to act independently.Our toddler classroom is a place where the young child begins his/her steps towards independence and self-reliance.

Based on the American Montessori Society, our Toddler Program aims to achieve the following:

  • Foster the development of basic trust
  • Assist in the natural development of personality based on the uniqueness of each child
  • Respond appropriately to the child’s needs to be loved, respected and accepted
  • Nurture toddlers through their senses and allow them to observe and move freely within limited boundaries
  • Foster independent eating
  • Maintain a flexible routine to the child’s needs, yet predictable so that the toddler feels secure in his/her environment
  • Develop a stronger sense of self, self-confidence and independence

We employ the following tools and concepts:

  • Knowledge of Montessori philosophy and methodology appropriate for toddlers
  • Knowledge of early childhood development
  • Observational skills to assist the development of each child
  • Responsive environments to meet the child’s curriculum
  • Verbal communication skills
  • Secure and resourceful envionment to meet each child’s developmental needs

Our program is designed to focus on practical life behavior, language improvement, sensory enhancement, math, music, art and science.
