Toddler : ages 18 months to 3 years
Toddler classroom ratio: 8 children per teacher (8:1)

Toddlerhood is a time of growing curiosity and a strong desire to do things independently. At Mariner Montessori, teachers offer patient guidance as children explore, practice everyday skills, and learn to express their needs. With eight children per teacher in our Toddler classrooms, we create opportunities for personal attention and responsive support.

Our Toddler programs combine hands-on Montessori learning with age-appropriate STEAM exploration. Children build language, coordination, and early mathematical understanding through activities such as sorting, stacking, handling materials, and discovering patterns. Teachers encourage children to make choices, repeat activities, and develop confidence through practice.

How We Support Your Child’s Development

  • Everyday independence: Opportunities to practice self-help skills and make choices with teacher guidance.

  • Language and communication: Conversations and shared activities that help children express their ideas and needs.

  • Social and emotional growth: Caring support as children build relationships, experience frustration, and develop confidence.

  • Movement and coordination: Hands-on activities that strengthen fine motor skills and physical coordination.

  • Early math and discovery: Sorting, stacking, and exploring patterns to build understanding through experience.

  • Concentration and persistence: Time to repeat activities, solve problems, and experience the satisfaction of learning a new skill.
