PRE-TODDLER & TODDLER PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

 

 

Blaisdale Montessori’s Pre-Toddler Program is offered at our Rougemount Campus  (905) 509-4547, Village Campus (905) 427-5006, Westney Campus (905) 426-5665 Oshawa Campus (905) 721-1933 /(416) 934-8597 and  Whitby Campus ( 905) 665-1516 for children 12 to 16 months old.  The Pre-Toddler Program prepares your child for the Toddler Program by encouraging a tranquil separation, stabilizing gross motor skills and developing independence.  Due to the demand for our Pre-Toddler Programs, the school may request that your child graduate to the Toddler class at 16 months old.  The teacher to child ratio for this program is 1:3.   We do not have Open Houses for this program as parents are usually given a personal tour.  Please call the campus that you are interested in.

Blaisdale Montessori's Toddler Program offers your child a combination of Day Care and Montessori activities for the 16 month old to 3 year old.  We have half day or full day sessions available.  Toddler Programs are offered at all of Blaisdale’s Campuses.  The Campuses are open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Milner Campus 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.).

Your child will be gradually introduced to the Montessori portion of our Program with fun activities that include:  independence (e.g. learning how to button, zipper and snap clothing); use of materials for the discrimination of size, shape and colour; and games that develop your child's hand co-ordination, making it easier for him/her when he/she starts to read and write.  Other activities are planned to stimulate curiosity and creativity, manipulation of art materials, self-esteem, social and communication skills, and gross motor skills.

The daily activities include a circle for songs and stories, outside play, and arts and crafts.  In keeping with Montessori's philosophy of giving children the best, the only refreshments that are served in the school are fruits and vegetables.  Your child will be assigned a day of the week to bring in refreshments.

On admission, please send 2 extra sets of clothing for your child and 3 boxes of Kleenex.   If your child is in diapers, please maintain a supply of diapers and diaper wipes.  If your child is staying all day, he/she will need his/her favourite crib-sized blanket, a fitted crib sheet and a nutritious lunch (please avoid sugar-laden foods).  Please note, we offer an optional 3 to 5 day Hot Lunch Program.  Contact your Campus office for a registration form.

To register your child, send a $100 Registration Fee attached to the Application Form and Statement of Account.
