Welcome to Maple "The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." —Dr. Maria Montessori

Highlights:-

Welcome back, everyone! It was wonderful to have all the toddlers return, and I am delighted to welcome our newest friends. There were a few tears, which is completely normal, but the children are settling in beautifully and adjusting well.

We are very positive that this year will be a great success. New activities will be introduced and added to the shelves in each learning area. We will continue supporting toileting, as some of our toddlers have already achieved this goal. The children will also work on becoming more self-sufficient by practicing how to take care of themselves.

Here are some Christmas celebration pictures!

Practical Life Skill:-

In the Practical Life area, children are enjoying straining, scooping, eyedropper water transfer, and lacing activities. These activities help build hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and an early understanding of gravity as children watch materials fall when poured or dropped.

Sensorial Area:-

In the Sensorial area, children are exploring knobbed cylinders and bottles with caps. The knobbed cylinders help develop the senses of touch and sight and prepare children for writing by strengthening the pincer grip. Opening and closing bottles is a fun activity that also helps children practice patience and concentration.
