Fountainhead Montessori is an early childhood institution with facilities in the California cities of Pleasant Hill, Dublin, Danville, Orinda, and Livermore. Fountainhead Montessori offers comprehensive curriculums designed to meet the developmental, emotional, and social needs of children aged 18 months to 6. The school’s Pleasant Hill, Dublin, and Livermore campuses offer classes for toddlers aged 18 months and older. The toddler curriculum offers children a positive introduction to the school environment.
Children in the toddler program receive guidance from experienced teachers in engaging activities that help them develop independence and ease anxieties associated with the temporary separation from parents and guardians. Activities include outings to the toddler playground and the daily circle, which provides language exercises through stories and songs. All activities and lessons focus on introducing the learning environment as a safe, enjoyable place for children.
Development-specific goals of the curriculum address areas of communication, relationships, individual health, creative expression, and intellectual stimulation. These goals include age-appropriate lessons that help children begin to build their vocabulary, explore the elements of cause and effect, and learn to communicate their emotions in a positive manner. In addition, the goals aim to nurture a child’s physical well-being and celebrate each child’s individuality.
