Creating the Right Beginning for Your Child

Helping your child feel secure, connected, and supported in these early years is essential. At the same time, many parents wonder how to provide the right balance of structure, independence, and care, especially when work is busy and reliable information can be hard to find.

Montessori toddler programs are designed to nurture confidence and ease the transition from home to group care. With a calm environment and consistent adult guidance, your child develops real-life skills, self-regulation, and early social skills. At Montessori School of Wellington, children join a classroom guided by over 30 years of family-led experience, within the only accredited Montessori program in the region. Extended care, a year-round schedule, and strong community connections make the experience supportive for both children and parents.

Is Your Child Ready for the Program?

Children are welcomed into the toddler program when they begin showing signs of early independence and curiosity about the world around them. In our Wellington County classrooms, readiness often starts with small, everyday actions that show your child is beginning to explore their environment with interest and intent.

We recommend considering the following before enrollment in the Montessori toddler program:

Communication: Your child may be starting to use gestures, early words, or sounds to express needs or respond during play.
Awareness: They may begin noticing how their actions affect the world—dropping objects, exploring cause and effect, or following simple routines.
Emerging Independence: Signs of trying to feed themselves, handle objects with intention, or move through familiar activities without prompting are all helpful indicators.
