​Toddler Program (2 and 1/2 years - 3 years)

Creek Home Montessori provides toddlers with opportunities to learn and explore. Creek Home Montessori toddler classrooms are organized into learning centers to engage children in learning through play while building independence.
Our teachers communicate with parents to ensure we are working together on important milestones such as potty training and language development and also to ensure your child’s daily needs are met. We utilize the Teaching Strategies curriculum to guide your child’s natural curiosity into meaningful learning experiences. Teachers utilize authentic assessment tools to document daily observations, develop new learning opportunities, and ensure the progression of development and learning.

Learning centers give your preschool child the opportunity to learn, share, play with others, build independence and confidence, and acquire the skills needed for kindergarten. Learning emerges through frequent exposure to concepts, interactions, purposeful play, and new experiences.
