Play Group (Bear)

The Montessori curriculum for play group, typically between the ages of 18 months and 2.9 years, focuses on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports their growing curiosity, independence, and social skills.

The classroom is designed to be child-sized, with furniture and materials scaled to their size and abilities. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration and encourages the children to learn through their senses, particularly through touch and movement.

The activities in the classroom are designed to promote language development, cognitive development, and motor skills. The toddlers will be exposed to various practical life activities, such as pouring, scooping, and sorting, that help them develop fine motor skills and concentration.

The curriculum also includes activities that encourage the development of social skills, such as learning how to share, take turns, and cooperate with others. Teachers also foster independence and self-help skills, such as dressing oneself, using the bathroom, and cleaning up after oneself.

Overall, the Montessori curriculum for toddlers aims to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace while developing independence, social skills, and a love for learning.
