VENO NEWS: MONTESSORI CLASSROOM: TODDLER - 18 MONTHS - 3 YEARS
Date: 10-02-21
By MORENIKE OLOLADE
Dr Montessori identified three essential traits about toddlers that would shape her educational curriculum for this age:
• A sensitivity to order
• A significantly increased capacity to absorb language
• An eagerness to become independent
Montessori’s toddler program is designed with these traits in mind. Our teachers introduce good habits, encourage the use of words to express needs, and warmly guide children to do things for themselves throughout the course of the day.
A Montessori toddler program, compared to traditional childcare, has many benefits. Here are just a few examples that parents often share:
• A positive, accelerated potty training experience. Children as young as 18 months are often ready to learn how to use the toilet, what we in Montessori call “toilet learning.†All children in toddler program learn to be diaper free.
• The ability to play independently and become increasingly self-sufficient. You will often hear your toddler say at home, “I can do it myself!â€
• A dramatic surge in vocabulary. By being able to better express their needs, toddlers gain increased control of their emotions, leading to fewer tantrums and a more joyful relationship between parent and child. Â

KINDERGARTEN - 3-6 YEARS
In 1907, Dr Maria Montessori opened her first preschool in a poverty-stricken community in Rome. She captured the world’s attention when her preschool students outperformed children from affluent neighbourhood in Italian school assessments. Dr Montessori’s results inspired educators across the globe to study her method, and soon Montessori preschools began opening all over the world. Today, Montessori classroom is proud to offer the one-of-a-kind, holistic, child-led approach to early childhood education that Dr Montessori pioneered over one hundred years ago.
ELEMENTARY 6-12 YEARS
The Great Lessons are a unique feature of Montessori education. These impressionistic lessons, told as stories at the beginning of each year, answer big questions such as, "How was the earth formed? Where did human beings come from? Who invented writing?†The stories provide a foundational framework of the world upon which students can build future knowledge. These lessons are designed to spark the child's imagination, spurring them to ask their own big questions and to delve deeply into topics that capture their interest.  If a student, after hearing about the properties of solids, liquids, and gasses in the First Great Lesson, becomes so excited about the topic that they want to research and perform relevant science experiments, the Montessori classroom gives them the space and support to do just that.
IMMERSION 18 MONTHS - 10 YEARS
Some Montessori schools offer an optional immersion environment in toddler, primary, and elementary programs. So children can begin in immersion at school as young as 18 months. In immersion programs, both teachers speak exclusively to the children in the alternate language - L2 (French, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian) except for their English reading and writing lessons - L1, which begin when a child is 5 years old. The instruction is strongly rooted in Montessori principles so students learn organically, not didactically.
Developing fluency in written and spoken Language enables students to communicate with native Language speakers at home and abroad and opens up the world of Hispanic culture, from literature to art to music. Bilingualism has demonstrated cognitive, academic, and personal benefits for young students, fostering strong thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills and heightened empathy. Bilingualism is also additive: the language skills learned support competency in English. In the Montessori bilingual environment, students develop intercultural skills and gain confidence in navigating the world and life.
