The perfect first step in the transition between home and school, The Young Children's Community is a half-day program designed for toddlers approximately 15 months to 3 years old. With a maximum group size of 6 children, the toddlers get to experience living in a community of others under the gentle guidance of a trained Infant/Toddler Montessori Teacher. Our mornings include lots of outdoor time, preparing and sharing a wholesome organic snack together each day, and engaging in a wide variety of hands-on Montessori activities geared specifically to the needs and interests of this unique age group, focusing on skills such as concentration and independence, movement, art, language, self-care and environmental stewardship.  

The Nest's Young Children's Community has 3 enrolment options: 2 mornings, 3 mornings, or 5 mornings per week. Enrolment is now full for September 2024. Please visit our Enrolment page to learn about the admissions process and to be added to the waitlist!
