Toddler

Programs

The first years of life are a time to explore, to see, to touch, and to hear; to develop trust and to begin language; a time to take the first steps towards independence. For nearly a century, Montessori teachers have been observing toddlers and creating a learning environment that responds to the developmental needs of early childhood.

With the benefit of a caring nurturing environment, toddlers learn faster than at most any other time in their life. The toddler community at Dakota Montessori School respects this time in a child's life and offers group activities as well as independent work periods. The child-teacher ratio is 5 to 1.
