Give Them The Best, An Education for Life
The Montessori Academy at Edison Lakes
"The studies which have been made of early infancy leave no room for doubt:
the first two years are important forever, because in that period,
one passes from being nothing into being something."

"Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow,
and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be."
Maria Montessori
toddler program
ages 22 to 36 months
As an extension of the home, the Toddler Program facilitates the early stages of developing independence. The environment is a nurturing setting designed around the needs of toddlers that encourages and entices them to explore the wonders of their world. Daily activities include focus on developing motor, language and social skills in an intimate group of ten to twelve children supported by two teachers.
Parent/Child Class for Ages 12 to 24 Months:
Attend a class with your child
The Parent/Child Program cultivates parents’ understanding of their child’s development through observations, activities, and participation in discussion groups. Through this program, children make enormous strides in language development, motor skills,
and in the ability to solve problems. They also develop a sense of independence as they begin to see themselves as ‘doers’.

Parents will learn activities to encourage the different developmental stages, practice and refine their observations, and gain an understanding of how to incorporate a Montessori ‘point of view’ to practice at home.
