Montessori Together Walkers (Accompanied)
foundations for a lifetime of learning and joy
When your family starts Montessori Together, you get more than a playgroup; you join a community of like-minded families. Your child will experience the joys of independent learning in a structured environment, while you and your family build meaningful connections with other young families in the area.
Program Highlights
Our Montessori Together programs emphasize the importance of fostering independence in young children. This may include activities such as allowing infants to feed themselves, choose their own activity, and explore their environment at their own pace. Our guides will gently support a child to learn to do things for herself, striking just the right balance between making your little one feel safe and loved, and identifying the right moment to encourage her to try something new.
By encouraging independence, Montessori Together programs help young children develop their self-confidence and sense of autonomy.
Even at a very young age, infants and young toddlers can begin to develop their social skills through interaction with other children and adults. Our Montessori Together programs provide plenty of opportunities for children to interact with each other in a safe and supportive environment, helping them to develop important social skills such as cooperation, conflict resolution, sharing and empathy.
Controlled and intentional movement are an important part of early development. Infants unconsciously use their hands to fuel the development of their brains and nervous systems.
Our Montessori Together environment carefully nurtures a young child’s developing intelligence by offering increasingly more complex objects to explore and manipulate in intriguing ways. You’ll be amazed at how a child can learn, when simply given time and space to practice the activities that respond exactly to precise moments in her development.
Teachers and families form really close bonds at Guidepost Montessori. A young child's Montessori Together teacher engage parents and caregivers in every session, guide them on how best to support a child's development and invited them to participate. Families will also receive regular reports about the learning activities they engage in.
