Montessori Toddler Group
Big discoveries begin in a caring environment
A Montessori toddler group for children aged 18 months to 3 years in the centre of Olomouc. A nurturing environment, individual attention and natural exposure to both Czech and English every day.
Little explorers. Big developmental milestones.
The first three years of life are a period of extraordinary development. Children discover the world through their senses, learn to communicate and move, build relationships and gradually become more independent in everyday activities.
Our Montessori toddler group offers an environment carefully prepared for these developmental needs. Children have space for movement, sensory exploration, practical life activities and their first shared experiences.
We work in a small group, allowing us to respect each child’s individual pace. Both Czech and English are naturally present in everyday communication, play and daily routines.
We place great importance on secure relationships between children and their guides, a caring approach and close cooperation with parents. We want every child to feel comfortable, develop confidence in their abilities and discover the joy of growing independence.
6 reasons to choose our Montessori toddler group
Young children need a sense of security, caring relationships and an environment that supports their developmental needs. Our toddler group offers space for exploration, growing independence and first friendships.
/01
An environment prepared for young children
Our classroom is designed for children aged 18 months to 3 years. Furniture, materials and daily activities are adapted to their size, abilities and developmental needs. The Montessori environment supports movement, language development, fine motor skills, concentration and the first steps towards independence.
/02
A gentle and respectful settling-in period
We understand that the first separation from parents is an important step for the whole family. We therefore offer a settling-in week, during which children gradually become familiar with the environment, their guides and other children. We adapt the process to each child’s needs and maintain close communication with parents.
/03
Flexible attendance to suit your family
We offer attendance for 2, 3 or 5 days per week. For part-time attendance, the days must be consecutive. This helps children establish a consistent routine, settle in more easily and gradually develop confidence in their new environment. Attendance can be increased over time, subject to availability.
/04
Small group and individual attention
Our group welcomes a maximum of 15 children. They are supported by a team of Czech-speaking and English-speaking guides. The small group allows us to get to know each child, understand their individual needs and create a safe and welcoming environment.
/05
Czech and English every day
Children experience English naturally through everyday communication with English-speaking guides. The language is part of play, shared activities, songs and daily routines. At this age, our focus is on positive experiences with language, understanding and spontaneous communication.
/06
Montessori education from the earliest years
Our approach is based on Montessori principles and the methodology of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). We respect the developmental needs of young children, encourage independence and provide meaningful activities that allow them to explore the world at their own pace.
Caring guides who understand young children
Our team consists of experienced Czech-speaking and English-speaking guides who respect the individual needs of young children and support their natural development.
In a Montessori environment, adults do more than supervise. They carefully observe each child’s needs, prepare appropriate activities and support their growing independence.
Daily communication with parents and mutual trust are also essential parts of our approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, of course. We also offer morning-only attendance, with pick-up after lunch. For young children, it is important to respect their individual needs and gradually adjust the length of their day according to how comfortable they feel in the group.
Yes. We can accommodate individual dietary needs, including food allergies and intolerances. We always discuss specific requirements with parents in advance to ensure appropriate and safe meals.
Not at all. Between 18 months and 3 years, children are naturally developing the skills needed to use the toilet independently.
We usually begin supporting toilet learning once a child has settled in and feels secure in the group. We follow each child’s individual readiness, without pressure and in close cooperation with parents.
The only essential requirement is that your child can walk independently and safely. This allows them to keep their hands free to work with Montessori materials, carry objects and participate in everyday activities.
Your child does not need to be able to eat independently, dress themselves or use the toilet. These are precisely the skills children gradually develop during the toddler years, and we support them throughout this process.
We give every child the time they need. We offer a settling-in week during which children gradually become familiar with the environment, their guides and the other children.
We adapt the process to each child’s individual needs and work closely with parents to make the transition as comfortable and natural as possible.

Název projektu: Vybudování DS Montessori batolata
Registrační číslo projektu: CZ.03.01.02/00/24_061/0004518
Doba realizace projektu: 1. 1. 2025 – 30. 11. 2026
Naše organizace se zapojila do výzvy č. 03_24_061 s názvem „Vybudování dětských skupin (2)“.
Ze studií Evropské komise vyplývá, že rodičovství významně ovlivňuje zaměstnanost žen v České republice. Podporou zařízení péče o děti předškolního věku vytváříme lepší podmínky pro zaměstnanost žen s dětmi v rámci města Olomouce a jeho okolí.
Hlavním cílem projektu je rozšířit služby péče o děti v Olomouci a zlepšit tak podmínky pro zaměstnanost žen s dětmi.
Dotace je poskytnuta na vybudování a provoz dětské skupiny o kapacitě 15 míst.
Projekt je financován z Evropského sociálního fondu plus v rámci Operačního programu Zaměstnanost plus.
