Our Montessori based toddler curriculum supports the
physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of each child.
Toddlers strengthen, speech and language development and both fine and
gross motor skills as they explore self, family, and the world in which they live.
A thoughtfully prepared Montessori environment for children aged 1 to 2½ years, supporting physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language and motor development through meaningful hands-on experiences.
At Aikyam Montessori House of Children in Bengaluru, our Montessori-based Infant and Toddler curriculum is designed to support the whole child. Children between 1 and 2½ years are given opportunities to move, observe, communicate, explore and participate in purposeful activities within a calm, prepared environment.
The program introduces children to key areas of the Montessori curriculum while gradually developing concentration, coordination, language, responsibility, respect and independence. These early experiences help children build a strong foundation for their continuing Montessori journey.

Our Infant and Toddler curriculum brings together language, practical life, sensorial exploration, science, culture, art and music through age-appropriate Montessori experiences.
Building communication, vocabulary, listening and early language awareness through meaningful experiences.
For toddlers, language develops naturally through the experiences and relationships within their environment. Clear speech, conversation, vocabulary development, storytelling and reading aloud are part of the daily learning experience.
Encouraging children to observe, manipulate and discover the physical and natural world around them.
Science experiences for toddlers focus on direct observation and hands-on exploration. Children interact with materials and discover physical properties while developing curiosity, autonomy and a growing sense of mastery.
In early science learning, the process of exploration is valued as much as the outcome.
Simple, engaging experiences help toddlers communicate, identify and explore familiar concepts.
Helping children begin to connect classroom experiences with the wider world around them.
Cultural experiences may include school-wide cultural celebrations, field trips and opportunities for children to experience and learn about the world around them.
Everyday activities that support coordination, independence, confidence and care for the environment.
Control of movement, silence game and walking the line.
Sweeping, pouring, rolling a rug, recycling and caring for animals.
Opening jars and latches, using strainers, beaters, whisks and simple tools.
Greetings, please and thank you, shaking hands and respectful movement around the classroom.
Dressing frames, buttons, zippers, snaps, combing hair and washing hands.
Health, safety, nutrition and age-appropriate food preparation experiences.
Montessori sensorial experiences help children refine their senses while discovering order, differences, relationships and patterns.
Sensorial materials are designed to isolate particular qualities and encourage repetition, concentration, mastery and self-correction. Through these experiences, children strengthen sensory awareness and develop the foundations for later mathematical and language concepts.
Cylinder blocks, knobbed cylinders, colour exploration, matching cards and geometric solids.
Experiences that encourage listening, sound awareness and auditory discrimination.
Encouraging creativity, exploration, problem solving and self-expression through age-appropriate art experiences.
The visual arts curriculum gives children opportunities to explore different materials and experience the creative process. Activities can include drawing, painting and exploration of two-dimensional and three-dimensional materials appropriate to the child's developmental stage.
Individual and group music experiences encourage expression, participation, listening and community.
Music forms an engaging part of the toddler experience. Individual and group activities can support different learning styles while creating opportunities for joyful participation and social connection.
At Aikyam Montessori House of Children, the early years are approached with respect for each child's individuality, pace and natural curiosity. The prepared environment gives children opportunities to explore, practise, repeat and gradually become more independent.
