Join us for the 2025-26 School Year!
At Ivybrook Academy, our Toddler Program creates a warm and responsive environment where young learners take their first steps toward independence and discovery. Rooted in the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, our program nurtures your child’s individuality while fostering creativity, curiosity, and social-emotional growth. This foundational program sets the stage for a lifelong love of learning and meaningful connections.
At this stage of development, toddlers are constantly absorbing, exploring, and building the foundational skills that will shape their future learning. Through purposeful play, guided interactions, and hands-on activities, we foster key emerging skills that support their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Here’s how we create an environment where toddlers can thrive:
Building relationships and empathy through group activities and daily interactions, toddlers develop trust, learn to share, and begin building the foundations of empathy and collaboration in a supportive environment.
Age-appropriate tasks and guided exploration empower toddlers to make choices, complete simple routines, and gain confidence in their growing abilities.
Hands-on materials and open-ended activities, such as art and sensory play, encourage toddlers to express themselves and explore their creativity.
From stacking blocks to outdoor play, toddlers engage in activities that refine fine and gross motor skills, supporting their physical development and confidence.
Through interactive play, puzzles, and exploration, toddlers develop early problem-solving skills, discover cause and effect, and spark a natural curiosity about the world.
With songs, stories, and meaningful interactions, toddlers begin to build their vocabulary and enhance their ability to communicate their needs and ideas.
