Mon-Fri: 8:30 am – 3:30 pmToddlers and Preschool
Little Feet Montessori incorporates S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into its curriculum, fostering a comprehensive and immersive educational experience for young minds. With a strong emphasis on these disciplines, our dedicated educators guide students towards critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation.
Science
- Nature Walks: Toddlers enjoy outdoor walks where they can observe plants, insects, and weather changes, fostering a sense of curiosity about the environment.
- Simple Experiments: Children engage in fun experiments, such as observing what floats and sinks or mixing water with different materials. These activities help them understand basic scientific concepts through observation.
- Gardening: Planting seeds and caring for plants allows toddlers to see the life cycle of plants up close, encouraging responsibility and a love for nature.
Technology
- Building with Blocks: Using wooden blocks or Montessori-specific building materials, toddlers learn about structure, balance, and how pieces fit together.
- Simple Tools: With supervised use of Montessori tools like screwdrivers or levers, toddlers can explore problem-solving and develop fine motor skills.
- Interactive Toys: Cause-and-effect toys that respond to the child’s actions help them understand technology in a tangible way.
Engineering
- Puzzles: Shape sorters, knobbed cylinders, and other Montessori puzzles help toddlers develop their cognitive abilities by matching shapes and solving simple problems.
- Stacking and Building: By constructing towers or structures with blocks, toddlers explore balance, design, and basic engineering principles.
- Water Play with Funnels and Tubes: Water play teaches toddlers about how liquids flow, promoting exploration of engineering concepts in a fun, hands-on way.
Math
- Counting Objects: Using Montessori counting materials like number rods, toddlers learn to associate numbers with physical quantities, which helps with early math skills.
- Shape Recognition: Through geometric puzzles and block play, toddlers become familiar with different shapes and their properties, laying the groundwork for spatial reasoning.
- Measuring:Using cups, spoons, and other simple tools during sensory play, toddlers explore concepts of measurement, fostering an understanding of quantity and proportion.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AMD MATH
S.T.E.M. programs offer young children an early introduction to essential skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. At Little Feet Montessori School, our programs focus on providing hands-on learning experiences that inspire toddlers and preschoolers to explore scientific concepts, delve into the world of technology and engineering, and engage in mathematical thinking. By starting early, children can build a strong foundation in these subjects, which are increasingly crucial in today’s technologically advanced world.
