Welcome to Toddler 3 Classroom! 

Our toddler environment is designed to support the curiosity of your ever evolving little one. We focus on giving them the independence they desire within a space that is both safe and challenging. The daily schedule is structured to ensure that learning to use the toilet confidently and comfortably with a lot of encouragement and joy! Our teachers communicate with parents regularly to ensure successful toileting both at school and in the home. 

Our toddlers are empowered with daily experiences in which they can authentically engage in preparing food, pouring and measuring, and cleaning up messes. By providing the children intentional lessons as well as tools sized for their hands and bodies, we give your toddlers the chance to have real experiences. Using activities with movement and exploration, the child is integrated into a community where parallel play becomes interactive play and the child develops the ability to communicate their needs and desires.

Your child will find themselves immersed in dynamic social and linguistic experiences as they begin their pre-academic learning. First introductions to shapes, colors, letters, and numbers happen within the toddler environment. The toddler age is a stage of rapid development and our staff is committed to supporting and guiding the children's development with love and respect.

Ms. Francesca
Head Guide

Hello! My name is Ms. Francesca.  I enjoy teaching and watching children grow and reach all their milestones. I love what I do! I have  my Bachelors in Early Elementary Education. Before Colorado I lived in New York for 2 years. I recently just moved from Hawaii and was teaching preschool, and moved back to the mainland to be closer to family. I love to read, travel, go hiking, and spend time with my dog and family. I am so lucky to be able to spend each day teaching and learning with such incredible children and staff. I aim to foster the love of learning through engaging activities, building of relationships, and high interest learning activities.  I work to build a positive, emotionally and physically “safe” environment so children feel comfortable enough to stretch their learning. We explore and learn together, while meeting everyone’s different needs. I want the students to LOVE school and learning.I look forward to meeting all of you!

Assistant Guide

Hi, my name is Nicole. I  graduated from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania in 2009 with a B.A. in Communication Media; however, life took me  to Madrid, Spain shortly after graduation, where  I first began teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to children and adults alike, in addition to corporate professionals at Chanel and Accenture, to name a few.  She relocated to Denver, Colorado in 2014, where she fell in love with teaching Montessori and has been doing so ever since.
