Parent/Toddler Program

Ages 10-22 months

A wonderful way to begin the Gladwyne Montessori experience, this informative and fun program meets weekly. Led by our school psychologist, meaningful discussions and activities focus on toddler-centered topics, from sleeping to eating to behavior.

While parents share ideas, children are introduced to Montessori materials that are just right for their age and size, while interacting with other children and adults. The day features music, games, snacks and many opportunities for development and social interaction.

Our program provides an opportunity for parents to discuss toddler issues, concerns, and ideas as they arise. A variety of topics related to toddlers and child development are presented by our facilitator, Dr. Elaine Edlind and discussed by the group. Topics may include sleeping, eating, discipline, Montessori philosophy, tantrums, toileting and many more.

Classes meet for one hour and 15 minutes weekly beginning in mid-October and ending in mid-May. Classes will be held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, we also run 9:30 - 10:45 a.m. classes; these are reserved for those families with other siblings in our school. All holidays and vacations coincide with the school calendar.
