Montessori Tides preschool understands toddlers need to feel loved and secure with the adults responsible for their care.
In order to help establish those needs, all new enrolled toddler students, will be given the option to have a home visit with their teacher and teacher assistants.
This visit helps create the first attachment between toddler, teacher, and their parents within the child’s familiar environment. Once the child experiences this dynamic bond at home, this will help the toddler to transfer this same comfortable feeling from the home visit to the classroom and willingly reach out to the prepared environment sooner.
First of all, I was absolutely stunned that Montessori Tides offers, “toddler home visits!” My son, could not of been more excited that his teachers were coming to his house to see him. I’m not sure what made him feel more important…maybe it was the comfortable atmosphere of his own environment, that he and his teachers seemed to hit it off right away, or the fact that Mrs. Johanna sat on the floor and played with his car’s discussing what he like’s to do at home. Actually, no I do know what it was. When Mrs. Johanna and her assistance came over they displayed respect toward him and his need to feel loved and secure by them. Thank you Tides, for a great beginning to this new year!
