Welcome to Village Montessori School
The VMS toddler community is a unique environment, which facilitates appropriate development for this special age. Development is optimal in an environment of understanding, respect and support for the developmental tasks of this age. The teacher's knowledge of children's needs and tendencies is crucial in preparing and implementing the program. The first step is aiding the child in separation and the development of trust, as well as in becoming comfortable in a new environment.
This accomplishment is the starting point for the child's secure exploration of the child's new environment. The teacher remains an important catalyst for further social development by modeling and encouraging good manners, language and respect for others. The language curriculum consists of listening to stories and songs, singing, vocabulary enrichment and conversations. Learning words to express needs, desires and feelings is emphasized.
The toddler classroom offers many opportunities for large motor development. The manipulatives in the classroom provide a variety of experiences for small motor development, eye-hand coordination, simple sorting and classifying, as well as sequencing and sensorial discrimination of shapes, sizes and colors.
The beginning practical life exercises of simple self help skills lead to independence and the development of competence, facilitating an "I can!" attitude.
The toddler class daily schedule includes group time, independent work, a mid-morning snack, outdoor play (weather permitting) and songs and stories.
For those in need of extended hours, Lunch Bunch or All Day programs are available. Children in the All Day program will have the opportunity to rest after the meal time is complete.
