The Toddler program helps to prepare the child not just for school, but for life.  This class for children 24 to 36 months meets five days a week. Children do not need to be toilet-trained to participate, as toilet-training is an integral part of our Toddler program.

The class is composed of three elements: prepared environment, observation and non-directive guidance. Classes focus on practical life exercises, sensory exploration and vocabulary enrichment to help children acquire a sense of order. The Toddler classroom allows children to move easily from large muscle movement areas to fine motor exercises, including pouring, sweeping, dusting, buttoning, zipping, and table setting.  A child's inclination for independence is respected by giving him skills to accomplish tasks independently.

This provides opportunities for freedom and exploration in a safe and loving atmosphere. The children learn to take care of themselves and their surroundings and develop skills to communicate with one another.  Lessons of Grace and Courtesy help the children develop respect for themselves, for others and for the (class) environment.
