Toddler

Children naturally move toward independence.  Calling their determination the “terrible twos” sells children short. At MMS, we  offer toddlers choice within limits, and we trust their capabilities. Through this approach, and under the skillful and attentive guidance of our highly trained educators,  toddlers’ independence and confidence build and blossom.

Humans are born to learn. At MMS, we organize our work around this truth, preparing  the model environment for learning – safe, inspiring, developmentally ideal. Our expert faculty cultivate each toddler’s inner drive to explore and learn through hands-on materials and experiences. As a result, they deepen and solidify their joy, curiosity, and intellect.

Development of emotional intelligence begins at birth. Empathy, compassion, and conflict resolution are all skills and qualities that make our lives better and more effective.

Through the caring community and the thoughtful guidance of our faculty, toddlers develop self-awareness and the ability to articulate their feelings. They develop a greater capacity for self-regulation, as well as empathy and interpersonal skill with their peers. These skills will serve them for life.

Too many early childhood programs are overstimulating, chaotic, and loud. Instead, at MMS  the aesthetics, design, and natural materials cultivate calm, harmonious, and inspired classrooms. Your toddler will spend much of their day deeply focused on indoor and outdoor activities that stimulate their senses and healthfully develop their cognitive and physical capacities.
