TODDLER ROOM

For 12 months to 2 ½ years children

Children learn through play. At Montessori Academy of Carrboro, our Toddler Daycare Program sets children 12 months to 2 ½ years on their natural path of knowledge in which they follow the whims of curiosity and wonder. This path of exploration created especially for the heart and mind of a young child.

Toddlers are happiest in a state of constant motion, with their newfound abilities and a strong desire to “do it by myself”. The child seeks an ever-ready avenue for retreat and reassurance as their intellectual, physical, and social skills blossom.

Our Toddler Daycare Program is directed by a child’s interest in a safe, nurturing atmosphere allowing the child freedom of movement and learning. Children experience cognitive and motor development by hands-on activities at their own pace. The children are given time to become captivated by a concept, and encouraged to develop their potential.

When children are left free to explore, but guided by an adult that is sensitive to their needs, children gain self-confidence and self-discipline. This environment creates a strong foundation for all future learning.
