FAQs (frequent questions and answers about toddler development & behavior):
-
[My Two-year old]
seems interested [in new activities], but then she will swat at the materials,
sweeping everything off the table or across the floor. Do you know what
this might mean? Or do you have any suggestions for me on this behavior?
-
How do you tell if
[my toddler] has mastered an activity?

When [do] other toddlers...

Testimonials:
"Thank you so much
for your understanding and down-to-earth response to the travails of toddlerhood
in our household!"--D.
"My daughter is 27 months
old and this stuff is great!'--Joy
"I love your site-it's exactly
what I spent 6 months looking for! The biggest help was the daily routine
and how you set things up--knowing what someone else's Prepared Environment
looked like really helped in creating ours. And when you get your child
a plant to take care of, don't get a cactus."--Peggy
"Hi, Lisa. I want to thank
you for everything.... I appreciate all your assistance and everything
you've done. You answered all my pressing questions and concerns and I
feel like I've found better direction for our Montessori homeschool environment!
And that's HUGE!"--Kristin
"I did the toddler program
with you with my other son who is 2 1/2 earlier in the fall. THANK YOU
so much for it --- I meant to say so earlier. Your activities were really
wonderful and helped to tide us through until he was able to get into a
preschool setting."-- :)Christina

FAQ:
"How
is the program for two and three year olds different from the [above]
program you offer for toddlers?"
The
Montessori for twos and threes offers lessons and activities for
both
two and three year olds, and uses materials you can find at home and also
buy less expensively, so the benefit is cost of materials and age
group (two and three year olds). The above toddler program is for two-year
olds and includes many of the traditional Montessori materials found in
a Montessori toddler classroom and they can be expensive. Also, there are
more lessons and activities for toddlers in the toddler program.
