Island Montessori Toddler Class: Pre-Arrival Check In

We look forward to getting to know your child as they start school with us, and to be help us prepare we ask that all new Toddler students help us with a few questions to ensure we are all set for your child’s start.

As with all of our classes, we track milestones and development based on EYFS and the Montessori framework. As parents, you know your little one best and in a new environment it can sometimes take time for your child to become as comfortable and expressive as they are at home.

Please fill in the short survey below to help assist us in this journey. All information is confidential.

Should you have any questions please feel free to contact us on Toddler@IslandMontessori.org.

Thank you!
