2/3-Year-Old Preschool Classroom

The 2/3-Year-Old Preschool Classroom offers children 2 and 3 years of age a unique beginning of self-development in a warm atmosphere of special understanding, respect, and support. It follows the Montessori philosophy that encourages vocabulary development, independence, and self-confidence for each child.

These words reveal the child’s inner needs: "Help me do it alone." {Maria Montessori}

In this specially prepared classroom, there is space for movement, individual work, and group activities. Everything in the environment is proportionate to the child’s size and is designed to be safe and aesthetically pleasing.

The 2/3 Classroom offers an inviting extension
(a "doorway") between the child’s home and the entrance into the future preschool classroom awaiting him or her. Toddlers are presented with customized materials designed to provide opportunities to work in their development of such areas as:

  • Language
  • Basic Math
  • 5 Senses
  • Art
  • Music
  • Motor Development
  • Practical Life

The Practical Life area is particularly emphasized, as the activities in this area allow children the chance to develop skills to appropriately care for themselves and their surroundings. Children learn what it means to demonstrate:

  • Respect for one's self
  • Respect for others
  • Respect for the environment

Practical Life activities are simple and can be accomplished by each child. They offer repetitive cycles that help the child establish patterns of order, sequencing, and self-esteem—even at an early age.

The freedom and guidance in the 2/3 Classroom is a safe and nurturing environment. Through positive daily activities, the young child will gain an appreciation and respect for his or her environment and peers.

The Montessori Difference

When a child is given a little leeway, he will at once shout, “I want to do it!” But in our schools, which have an environment adapted to children’s needs, they say, “Help me to do it alone.” And these words reveal their inner needs. {Maria Montessori}
