Montessori Preschool for 2 Year Olds

Prime Montessori Academy offers a Montessori toddler environment designed for children beginning around 20 months through age three. Our classrooms provide a calm, carefully prepared space where young children can explore, move, and develop confidence in their abilities.

Through purposeful activity and guided exploration, toddlers begin building concentration, coordination, communication skills, and social awareness.

The Montessori Toddler Environment

Montessori toddler classrooms are intentionally designed to support the developmental needs of young children. Rather than traditional daycare-style programs, Montessori environments emphasize independence and meaningful activity.

  • Child-sized environments that support independence
  • Hands-on Montessori learning materials
  • Language-rich classroom experiences
  • Movement and coordination development
  • Practical life activities that build confidence

These experiences help young children develop focus, confidence, and a natural curiosity about their surroundings.

The Petite Atelier (20–36 Months)

At Prime Montessori Academy, our toddler program — known as the Petite Atelier — provides a peaceful classroom environment where young children begin developing independence, coordination, and early language skills.

Children engage with Montessori materials designed for sensory exploration, movement, and purposeful activity while learning to care for themselves and their surroundings.
