Toddler (Ages 2 – 3 years)

The Toddler Program at Montessori of Ladera Ranch is a specialized curriculum for children ages 24 to 36 months, serving as a preparatory program for transition into a Montessori preschool. The ratio in the classroom is one teacher per six children. Children are exposed to Practical Life activities and the beginnings of the Sensorial materials which are appropriate for the emergent two-year-old. The concept of grace and courtesy is introduced and implemented during morning snack and lunchtime. Toilet training is also an important component of the Toddler Program and teachers work closely with parents during this process.

Our school only has one toddler classroom, so a limited number of spaces are available each year.
