Montessori for Your 2 Year Old

Two years old. Two darling years old. At two, your busy little one is a sensory-seeker. Hands constantly reaching. Stamped feet when they want to do things themselves. Still sucking on fingers and spitting things out, unaware of social graces.

Immense learning is happening right now! Your child is using their senses to absorb information about the world. They’re hungry for it all: textures, colors, sounds, and real-world experiences. Just not too much at one time.

At this age, a Montessori education has a lot to offer. Little ones are capable of much more than popular belief and yet they still require your constant supervision and calming presence. Your focus will be on creating a richly prepared environment, offering bite-sized activities, and following your child's natural instincts for sensory encounters.

Big Steps.

Big Feelings.
