Suggested Daily Schedule for Toddlers
We have prepared guidelines below that we hope you will read carefully and that will continue to support your child’s Montessori experience in your home.
Routine and consistency is very important for your toddler.
| Morning: Wake up and assist in making bed. Use the bathroom, brush teeth. Make breakfast with your child, eat, and clean up. Rotate through activities one at a time for an hour and a half. Have a few activities for children to choose from. Remember to make time for a bathroom break. |
| Mid-Morning: Snack Break: children can set the table, eat, and clean up. |
| Late Morning: Work time (indoor or outdoor) for an hour. Read stories, sing songs, listen to music and sing along. |
| Lunch: Set up for lunch and have lunch. Clean up and use the bathroom. Outside play time if the weather is appropriate, for at least 30 minutes. |
| Afternoon: Use the bathroom and take a nap for 2 hours. Wake up and use the bathroom. Listen to music and look at books. |
A great resource for toddler parents is here, a wonderful Montessori blog.
It is important to continue toilet independence during this time at home. The teachers will be in touch with you to help guide you with each child’s toileting pattern.
