Every piece of furniture, container, dish, and artefact is lovingly selected. Every object, material, book, and picture has been chosen with care and deliberation for placement in the environment. The environment for toddlers has been meticulously prepared because, at this age, the child's absorbent mind functions unconsciously, taking in everything whole, without a filter, and making it an indelible part of the child's deepest self. The child of this age is a sensorial explorer facing important developmental issues of separation and attachment, autonomy, and functional independence.Īctivities concentrating on food, clothing, language, movement, the senses, and the hands are given utmost care in their provision because they are both of primal interest and core importance to the children. The environment is designed for the child of 18-months (and walking) through the age of 2½ to 3-years. Great care is given to provide an environment that is safe both emotionally and physically, that invites extensive exploration, offers hands-on activities, and engages the child in receptive and expressive language.
