Description

Children between the age of 18 months to 36 months are termed as toddlers. The age of the toddler is unique but very critical because children at this age are neither too small who needs care at every step nor too big who can understand everything and take responsibility by themselves. Taking care of toddlers is a mix of everything as it requires some strictness with lots of affection. Our toddler and get set program follows the same philosophy so that the children of this age group can be appropriately nurtured. We do not support the general schedule that is followed by every other preschool. Springdale Montessori Preschool defines the plan for every individual child as per requirement and condition of the child.

• The minds of every toddler irrespective of the age are very curious. Keeping this in mind we have designed the complete schedule for the children so that they get everything which is required for their growth and development.
• The age is not only the changing factor, but the mind of the student also keeps on changing and updating in all the manners during this time. Students at this age are the masters of themselves as they become capable of doing some of the other work by themselves and also try to communicate with others through their vocabulary.
• In our toddler and get a set program, we focus upon both learning the curriculum and developing the children in all the other field other than studies. The rule that we follow to teach at this age is learning while playing.
• Discussing the teaching procedure for the students inside the classroom, it would be like exploring everything to the fullest while learning.
• The classes under this program are very customized in our school. We have customized table and chair, sinks and stools, bookshelves and mirror which are very comfortable for every student who is admitted in our school.
• In our learning curriculum, we teach them to identify the primary colors and shapes.
• Students at this are interested in speaking and making several attempts to pronounce and learn a single word. We make this easy for them by continuously asking various questions and making them the response on the same in any manner they wish to.
• We make them practice imitation which is the best way to keep them active and learn faster. We help the toddlers to memorize his name and name of his family members along with the names of different objects and places. The eagerness to learn something new at this age becomes very helpful to teach then the new things.
• The other form that we use to prepare our students is in the kind of storytelling, music, and art. The way we present our storytelling to our students is unique. Our narration is not vocal; it includes music, dance and different props which keeps the students engrossed in the same. Through storytelling, it becomes easy for them to learn and memorize.
• The other department of interest for the students is learning poems with the actions as they love to recite the same. We help the students to learn recitation of the verses in different languages with beautiful moves. The learning of recital increases their memory and make them even more active.

Everything that we teach is not inside the classroom or the four-walled rooms. We make aware of the environment and try to build a friendly relation with nature.

• We have an open area for the students with lots of security where they can roam around freely without any restrictions. We help them to play with the grass, flowers, leaves and every natural thing available.
• Running after the butterflies and small creatures make children very happy as they find something interesting in them. This helps to increase the motor skills in the children. Further, we also teach them to socialize and become friends with other students in the class.

We still have something more in our toddler and get the set program. Other than a customized classroom and open space area, we have a play area available with many different types of toys for the children to play.

• The gadgets available in the play area are such that helps the students to strengthen their motor skills like crawling, walking, standing, running, etc. For example, the teacher throws the ball and ask the children to catch hold of the same. In this regards, students with all his strength, run to grab and play with the ball.
• It also helps the students to face different circumstances and challenges that comes on its way. The play area also consists of the riding equipment which allows them to do different movement activities.

We do focus upon the learning curriculum along with mental and emotional development, but this is not the end. Toddlers enjoy learning through practical skills, and we help them to learn such skills.

• The first and the essential ability that we teach them is to prepare and feed themselves on their own.
• The other self-care skills that we teach them are dressing themselves and cleaning. They get to learn how to adjust the table for lunch and how to clean it later after eating. These practical skills make them more self-dependent, and a sense of pride is also experienced in every individual child after completing these tasks.
• Other than self-care there are some activities which are performed by the children to improve their hand and eye coordination like Pouring, Stringing, and Cutting Activities.
• The annual programmes held in the school gives an opportunity to the students to perform which includes dancing, singing, acting and many more using props and costumes. This helps the students to remove stage fear and become self-confident.
• We keep on updating the progress of the students to the parents, and a face-to-face meeting is also organized every month so that the parents can clear their every problem and doubts.
