The
Montessori School of Downtown offers an excellent program for the toddlers,
which is conducive to the total growth of a toddler. The toddlers are
under the individual attention of a trained teacher. The teachers are
warm and loving. They deal with the child as a whole, which includes
contributing towards their emotional, physical and intellectual development.
Our Goal is to educate
children in a loving and orderly environment, where they can master
their muscle co-ordination. They also work on body image and movement,
as well as a sense of order, good habits, confidence and concentration.

Message from The School
Open Communication between the home
and the school is of utmost importance in the life of a child. The
toddlers, above all other children, need the stability and security
reached by knowing that the adults who inhabit their surrounding
are mutually working on their behalf. We shall keep you abreast
of your child's progress regularly and also quarterly through a newsletter.
