Toddlers - 18 months+ TO 3+

          At Union Village Montessori School, located in Berkeley Heights the program is designed to gently introduce the two-year-old to a positive school experience, our classroom welcomes each and every child. The space is carefully prepared to meet the needs of the developing the two-year-old, with inviting materials and activities accessible at the child's level. The child at this age requires a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment to develop trust in themselves and their world.

          By offering age-appropriate activities, the Montessori teacher at Union Village Montessori School helps the child's confidence and helps develop the child's coordination. Through interaction, receptive and expressive language skills develop along with independence, self-awareness, and socialization.

          Children can freely move around the classroom and choose activities that pique their interests. We are guiding rather than instructing. We engage children with the activities in the environment. We offer half day 8:30-11:30 am, and full day 8:30 am-3pm.
