The Pre-Primary program is designed for children ages 18 months through 3 years, where basic motor coordination, independence, and language development are fostered, and individual personality is respected.

Picture a place where your toddler is free to explore and enjoy a Montessori environment, learning from the teacher's movements and reactions. Toddlers are curious. It's this inner nature that drives them to explore and discover the world in which they live. Free movement is essential to toddlers who are never confined in their classroom, special materials encourage and help the development of movement.

The toddler environment is rich with language which is very exciting for them. Real objects and photographs of common objects are used for learning names of things, abstract words are attached to experiences: "Would you like a sweet taste or a sour taste?"  Stories, songs, conversations, simple explanations and questions add to their understanding of the world.
