The Toddler Experience

Our Practical Life Curriculum includes self-care, food preparation, and flower arranging skills. This program cultivates a strong sense of autonomy, introduces basic concepts of grooming, toilet use, nutrition, and kitchen safety, enhances aesthetic appreciation, develops fine motor skills, instills a sense of order, and prepares learners for more advanced tasks as they grow.

Sammamish Montessori School enhances toddler language skills through interactive conversations and shared reading sessions. Trained staff act as ‘Language Materials,’ using music and storytelling to create a rich linguistic environment where language is absorbed naturally, making learning both effective and joyful.

Toddlers engage in vibrant artistic expression through painting, music, and more. These activities nourish their souls and foster authentic self-expression in a creatively stimulating environment.

Toddler classrooms are sensory-rich environments designed for exploration and independence. Strategic placement of diverse materials, from textured fabrics to musical instruments, fosters cognitive growth and sensory development, allowing children to actively engage with and learn about their world.

At Sammamish Montessori School, toddler educators are themselves dynamic ‘Language Materials,’ fostering children’s linguistic skills through interactive dialogues, shared reading, music, and storytelling. This multifaceted approach creates a linguistically rich environment where language learning is natural and joyful, allowing children to absorb and enjoy the nuances of communication.
