Pre-primary class

Our Toddler program, for children 21 months and up, takes advantage of the toddler’s natural  drive to act independently. Follow The Child Montessori preschool in Lafayette advances each child's growth and development through a rich and and well prepared environment designed just for toddlers. The classrooms are a special place for the young child to begin his/her steps towards independence  and self-reliance. Dedicated, nurturing and trained teachers implement a toddler designed curriculum to foster cognitive development, speech and  language development, strengthen fine motor and gross motor skills, introduce grace and courtesy lessons, and promote independence.  

An important part of a  toddler’s developing independence is learning to care for him/herself by  washing hands and putting on shoes and jackets.Toddler exercises and  activities recognize that children learn by doing. Classroom materials  are always accessible, attractive, safe, and geared for a child’s  success. Activities are changed regularly in response to children’s need  for variety and challenge as they grow and learn. The safe, loving,  gentle atmosphere puts children and parents at ease and makes for a  trusting, spontaneous transition to school.
