Toddler Program (1yr to 2.5yrs)

Toddler Classes

Our Toddler Program at Valparaiso Montessori supports children as they take their first confident steps into a world of greater independence and movement.

Designed for ages 12 to 30 months, this environment offers safe, open spaces where toddlers can practice walking, climbing, and refining their coordination. Following the Montessori philosophy, activities are purposeful and hands-on, inviting children to explore, problem-solve, and care for themselves and their surroundings.

Language blossoms as toddlers engage in songs, stories, and meaningful conversation with their guides. Through gentle guidance and respect for each child’s pace, we nurture curiosity, self-confidence, and the joy of discovery during this vital stage of growth.  

Parents may choose between:
3 Day Toddler - Tuesday thru Thursday 
4 Day Toddler – Monday thru Thursday
5 Day Toddler – Monday thru Friday

Half Day Programs - 7am - 11:30am
Full Day Programs - 7am - 5pm

“We must understand that anything which animates the child is a help to his development.”
