Toddler / Precasa program (For children, 18 months - 2.5 years)

Early Learners’ Montessori School’s toddler / precasa classroom environment has been thoroughly prepared, the child is guided and encouraged through development processes, such as gross motor development, fine motor control and introduction to self-help skills. This Montessori environment is prepared to aid the young child in achieving independence, social interaction with other children, as well as the development of language, music and movement. ‘Individual work’ found in the Early Learners’ Montessori School’s Toddler/pre casa curriculum involves language based activities and hand-eye coordination exercises.

A child’s early stages of development play an essential role in his or her growth of character. If the mind is stimulated during this period, through exposure to a nourishing environment, it fosters a lasting ability to learn and accomplish. At Early Learners’ Montessori School we understand the importance of early childhood education, our Toddler/Pre casa Montessori programs are designed to “follow the child'' to provide a variety of learning opportunities so the toddler can explore based on their curiosity and mobility, not just their age.

Our toddler program includes four core areas: 
-Practical Life
-Movement
-Sensorial
-Language

All children enjoy two hours of outdoor playtime in our state-of-art rubber-safe surfacing playgrounds.
