The toddler program at ME
Early childhood development is critically important. At ME, our experienced teachers and staff help facilitate this period of learning, and that’s what separates us from traditional child care facilities.
Individualised care
Our toddler program includes:
- Montessori Excellence: Our nursery embraces authentic Montessori principles to foster independence, curiosity, and a love for learning in children aged 1 to 3 years. Through hands-on experiences, sensorial exploration, and child-led activities, we cultivate a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
- Language Enrichment: Give your child the gift of languages! Our curriculum includes engaging French, Spanish and Italian language lessons, igniting their linguistic potential during the critical language development phase. This multicultural exposure broadens horizons and enhances cognitive abilities.
- Sporting and Tennis Adventures: Active bodies, active minds! We offer tennis and sports lessons tailored to toddlers, enhancing their physical coordination and motor skills while instilling a passion for sports and an active lifestyle from an early age.
- Personalised Growth Pathways: Each child is a unique individual. Our experienced educators create personalised learning paths that cater to your child's developmental needs and interests, ensuring they progress at their own pace while receiving dedicated attention.
- Cultural Connections: Our multicultural approach introduces children to diverse cultures through celebrations, art, music, and stories. This promotes empathy, global awareness, and a well-rounded perspective that enriches their understanding of the world.
- Holistic Development: Beyond academics, we emphasise social, emotional, and physical growth. Through Montessori-inspired activities, language exploration, outdoor learning, sports and tennis, we provide a comprehensive environment where children thrive intellectually, emotionally, and physically.

Signature practices
These signature Montessori practices are specially designed for children up to preschool age in our nursery. By embracing these principles, we create an environment where young minds can thrive, grow, and develop a solid foundation for future learning.
- Mixed-Age Classrooms: Our classrooms include a range of ages, allowing younger children to learn from older peers and older children to reinforce their knowledge by helping the younger ones. This promotes collaboration, empathy, and a sense of community.
- Practical Life Activities: We offer a variety of hands-on activities that mimic real-life tasks, such as pouring, dressing, and cleaning. These activities develop fine motor skills, independence, and a sense of responsibility, fostering confidence and self-sufficiency.
- Sensorial Exploration: Our carefully designed materials engage children's senses, encouraging them to explore textures, sizes, shapes, colors, and more. This sensory exploration builds a strong foundation for understanding the world around them.
- Language-Rich Environment: Our classrooms are filled with conversation, books, and language-focused activities. Children are exposed to rich vocabulary, conversations, and storytelling, fostering early language development and communication skills.
- Child-Led Learning: We prioritize following the child's interests and passions. Our teachers observe each child's preferences and adjust activities accordingly, promoting intrinsic motivation and a lifelong love for learning.
- Nature Connection: Outdoor exploration is an integral part of our curriculum. Children engage with the natural world through gardening, observing insects, and exploring outdoor environments, fostering a deep appreciation for nature.
- Individualized Learning Paths: We recognize that each child develops at their own pace. Our educators create personalized learning plans that cater to each child's unique strengths and challenges, ensuring a supportive and enriching educational journey.
