“Help Me Do It Myself” -Maria Montessori
The Cosmic Montessori toddler program is designed for children ages 15 to 36 months. This period in a child’s life is a time of immense activity and discovery as the child investigates their world and learns how to form their own opinions. Development during this period focuses on teaching the child to become independent. Our corresponding educational environment supports the child’s natural drive and enables them to become competent and confident. At Cosmic Montessori School we recognize each child’s need for autonomy during this unique period. When we introduce new concepts we allow for long periods of discussion and experimentation so that the child can formulate a hypothesis, test it repeatedly, and arrive at a logical conclusion. The toddler classrooms are designed so that the child can explore freely, choose, and replace materials in an orderly fashion. Our Montessori toddler program focuses on intellectual, physical, sensory, and artistic education with a great sensitivity to language, spatial relationships, music, art, social graces and more.
