Importance of Montessori
What Is Montessori Education?

Rather than directing children step-by-step, Montessori educators act as guides, allowing toddlers to choose activities, explore at their own pace, and build confidence through real-world experiences. 🔗 Learn more about our Toddler Program here.

Promotes Independence Early
Montessori classrooms are designed for toddlers to do things for themselves—whether that’s choosing an activity, washing their hands, or putting away their materials. This builds self-confidence and gives children a sense of ownership over their environment. At Hagginwood Montessori, everything is scaled to toddler size, from shelves to sinks, allowing children to take the lead in their learning.
Supports Social-Emotional Growth
One of the lesser-known benefits of Montessori education is its powerful impact on emotional development. Toddlers learn to
Respect others’ space and materials
Wait their turn
Work both independently and cooperatively
Resolve small conflicts with adult support
These real-life social experiences teach empathy, patience, and self-regulation—skills that last a lifetime.
Encourages Language and Communication
Toddlers are at a critical stage of language development. Montessori teachers support this with.
Many parents are surprised to see toddlers deeply focused in a Montessori classroom. That’s because materials are intentionally designed to be hands-on and engaging. Activities like sorting, pouring, or threading beads help children develop fine motor skills and concentration—a powerful combination for future academic success. Unlike high-stimulation environments, Montessori classrooms are calm, quiet, and organized, supporting attention span development even in very young children.
Emphasizes Practical Life Skills
In a Montessori toddler environment, children engage in practical activities like
Watering plants
Washing tables
Preparing simple snacks
Putting on coats and shoes
These tasks teach coordination, responsibility, and confidence—all while helping toddlers feel capable and proud.
Consistency Between School and Home
Montessori principles can easily extend to the home. Parents often notice that toddlers become more helpful and self-directed after just a few weeks in the program. At Hagginwood Montessori, we support families with guidance on how to continue the Montessori mindset at home—creating a seamless connection between learning environments.
Hagginwood Montessori is now enrolling toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years. Whether you’re new to Montessori or already love the method, we’d love to meet you.
