What is the Montessori Toddler Community?

Written by certified Montessori educator Sarah Moudry, "What is the Montessori Toddler Community?" serves as an introductory handbook designed for parents, caregivers, and schools exploring the Montessori approach for children aged 18 to 36 months.

This concise booklet clearly explains the core philosophy behind a "Toddler Community" (often referred to as Nido or Infant Community), detailing how a classroom is carefully prepared to support a toddler's natural drive for independence, language acquisition, and fine and gross motor development. It highlights the role of the teacher as a guide, outlines daily routines, and provides parents with practical insights on how to mirror these supportive environments and positive discipline strategies within their own homes.
