TODDLERS:
Eighteen Months to Three Years
The Kingwood Montessori Toddler program offers an introduction to the Montessori program for the child from 18 months to 3 years of age; they may attend 5 days a week for full-days or half-days. The course is designed to give our toddlers individualized skill training which will assist them with a positive and beneficial transition to school. It is anticipated that after their introductory year, they will continue their Montessori education in a 3 to 6 Early-Childhood classroom. A full range of specialized Montessori materials are available to the children, in a beautiful environment specifically prepared to meet their needs. The Toddler program is ideal for those children who would be spending four or five years in our preschool program, prior to entering an elementary school. Support is given for "toilet training" and a scheduled naptime is provided.

What Sets Our Toddler Program Apart?
1. Individualized Learning
Each child is unique, and our program reflects that. We tailor activities to suit the individual needs, interests, and developmental stages of every toddler, ensuring they feel supported and challenged.
4. Language and Communication Development
Language is a cornerstone of our Toddler Program. We encourage vocabulary building through storytelling, songs, and conversations, laying the groundwork for effective communication.
2. Focus on Independence
From learning to dress themselves to tidying up after an activity, toddlers in our program develop essential life skills that build confidence and self-reliance.
3. Nurturing Social Skills
In our diverse and inclusive classrooms, toddlers learn to interact respectfully with peers and adults. Through collaborative activities and guided interactions, they begin to understand the importance of empathy, sharing, and teamwork.
5. Hands-On Exploration
Montessori materials are designed to engage toddlers’ senses and promote learning through discovery. From sorting and stacking to pouring and matching, each activity builds cognitive, motor, and problem-solving skills.
