Mother Toddler Programme

  My daughter was 9 months old when my friend asked me, when will I enroll my little one to a preschool. The thought of preschool for a 9 month old and the idea of letting go my of daughter had me confused.

  This is the dilemma every parent goes through. Have you ever wondered why Preschool is so important?

"I was born as a mother, the day my child was born."

  Motherhood is the only high stress - high risk profession that comes with absolutely no training. Every mother struggles to understand developmental milestones in their children, the mother toddler program helps embrace this.

  After birth it takes up to two years for the neurons in the cerebellum (which control movement) to fully mature. Maria Montessori identified the primary sensitive periods from birth to three years of age, to be movements, language orientation and order. It is with this observation that she infers that toddlers were always moving and exploring with hands eyes & ears. She developed an entire method of education for infants, toddlers and older children.

  The Mother Toddler programme at Little Lamps aims to create a safe and friendly environment for the little ones to socialize and acquaint themselves to a new world of learning. The curriculum is customized for your growing toddler aiding the mother to bond better with her child, supporting their needs in a most comfortable way.

  Babies and toddlers are very sensitive to order, at Little Lamps we have created an environment with a set of activities and materials, in an order to assist them in developing mental order. These activities helps the child meet his physical, socio - emotional, cognitive, language and kinesthetic needs.
