Stepping Stones

The routines of everyday living are the foundation of our Stepping Stones Toddler program. Activities promote independence, order, coordination, and concentration, as well as support social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

Stepping Stone Program

A day full of discoveries and knowledge

  1. Self-care: washing, dressing, toileting, and eating, according to each child’s individual capacity
  2. Care of the environment: cleaning, food preparation and food service; plant care and animal care
  3. Large-motor activities (indoors and out): walking, climbing, running, jumping, balancing, climbing steps, and more
  4. Fine-motor skills: reaching, grasping, picking up objects, transferring objects, using tools and utensils, doing art work
  5. Language: naming objects, describing actions and intentions, discussing pictures, conversation, music, and singing
  6. Social skills: developing manners through interactions with peers, teachers, and adult-led small group games

Montessori Stepping Stones Overview

In a Montessori Stepping Stones Classroom, the philosophy of "Learning through Play" is central, emphasizing how children can organically comprehend their environment while nurturing vital social and cognitive abilities.
