Toddler Program
At Sacramento Montessori, our toddler program is designed for children ages 18 to 36 months, providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports their rapid growth and development. Toddlers thrive with attentive care from adults who understand their unique developmental needs, helping them build independence, social skills, and confidence.
Our Montessori-inspired curriculum encourages learning through play and hands-on activities. Children explore a prepared environment with materials that are safe, attractive, and developmentally appropriate, fostering focus, concentration, and practical life skills. Grace and courtesy lessons, movement activities, and self-care exercises promote independence while guiding toddlers in social interactions.
The program emphasizes responsive caregiving, helping children feel secure and supported as they transition into a school setting. Our loving and gentle environment ensures both children and parents feel at ease, creating a foundation for lifelong learning and curiosity.
Toilet Training
At Sacramento Montessori, we recognize that every child develops at their own pace, and readiness for toilet training varies. Our goal is to support each child’s physical and emotional development while creating a consistent, positive learning experience.
Parents and teachers work together to determine the right timing and techniques for toilet training, ensuring continuity between home and school. Families are encouraged to share their own practices so that we can create a personalized, effective plan for each child.
Signs a child may be ready include showing discomfort when wet, sitting on the toilet independently, observing peers using the bathroom, or expressing restlessness at night.
Our approach includes gentle encouragement, consistent bathroom routines before and after meals, before and after naps, and every 15–30 minutes as needed. We use positive language, praise successes, and guide children to manage accidents with support and independence.
Toilet training begins when parents and teachers agree on readiness, techniques, and a consistent schedule, including preparation for daytime and nighttime routines.
