Toddler Program
An academic program for students 18–36 months old.
Some refer to this developmental period as “The Terrible Twos.” We disagree; toddlers are terrific. We love everything about them – their energy, determination, and curiosity – and purposefully created a very special place for your toddler to learn.
An Environment Conducive to Learning
Where so many early childhood programs are chaotic and overwhelming, parents are often surprised to see the peaceful tone of our toddler classroom. The calm atmosphere and lack of distraction help your toddler to develop impulse control and concentration, planting the seeds for learning in this classroom and beyond.
A Community
Our students grow together into a close-knit, caring community. When children work, learn, and grow together, they learn much more than any of them could learn alone!
“Help Me To Do It Myself”
Your child has a natural drive to be independent which we encourage by creating an environment where everything is just the right size for children to do things on their own. Child-sized tools that fit tiny hands allow your toddler to prepare a snack and serve it to friends. A miniature broom empowers independent clean-up. We teach the skills of self-care and toilet training. Your child learns a set of concrete life skills and self-confidence – but, more importantly, understands how to make a genuine impact on the world.
A Beautiful Environment
Our bright and sunny toddler classrooms are specially designed for your child between the ages of 18 and 36 months. It is a world scaled down to your child’s size. Here, your child paints, cooks, waters the garden, sings songs with friends and plays with materials that develop fine and gross motor coordination.
Absorbing Language
We surround your child with rich and stimulating conversation to support this once-in-a-lifetime period of rapid language development. Your child, trying to blow bubbles, might be encouraged with “Blow! Can you make the air move just like the wind?” Your child’s mind effortlessly absorbs the new vocabulary, which plants the seeds for reading, writing, and self-expression in the future.
A Joyful Experience
Maria Montessori once said, “One test of the correctness of the educational procedure is the happiness of the child.” Take a peek into our Toddler classroom and you will see children who are happy, engaged, and deeply connected to their friends and teachers. As a result, your child develops a deep affinity for school and a true love for learning.
Ready to Move Up
Sometime between the ages of 2 1/2 to 3 years of age, your child’s language skills and self-expression will develop rapidly and you will see an increase in confidence in independence, as well as a keen interest in broader concepts. Your child will want to know what lies ahead, outside of the Toddler Classroom. At this point, it is time to move up to the Primary program, which is designed for children from the ages of 3 to 6.
Parent Reviews
We love this school! My son started off in the infant class and he’s now in the toddler class. His teachers are always so kind and greet him with love and smiles every morning. When it’s time for pick up he wants to stay and keep playing with his friends. He’s learning so much being there and has become more social. Ms. Jessica and Ms. Cherry are always so incredibly helpful and kind. We couldn’t have chosen a better school for our little.

I was the Assistant Teacher for the Toddler 1 class. In sincereness there's no other school like My Quest Montessori. My Quest aims to encourage independence, curiosity for learning, and respect, while enriching child development. A child needs to be shown respect for them to react positively to new learning experiences. This school obtains it all through their staff. The staff makes sure that children's emotional and physical needs are met. This demonstrates your child and you will be delighted to attend this prestigious program/school.
