Nido II
Some call this the "terrible twos." We disagree — toddlers are terrific. We love their energy, determination, and curiosity, and we've built a very special place for your toddler to learn.
Schedule a TourIndependence, one small step at a time
A calm, focused room
Where many toddler programs feel chaotic, ours is peaceful by design — helping your child build impulse control and concentration.
"Help me do it myself"
Child-sized tools let your toddler prepare a snack, sweep with a real broom, and practice self-care and toilet training — building genuine capability and confidence.
Not a classroom — a community
Children work, learn, and grow together into a close-knit, caring group, learning far more together than any of them could alone.
Absorbing language
Rich, warm conversation surrounds your child during this once-in-a-lifetime window of rapid language growth, planting the seeds for reading and writing.
A beautiful environment
Bright, sunny rooms scaled to your child's size, where they paint, cook, water the garden, sing, and build fine and gross motor coordination.
A joyful experience
Dr. Montessori measured success by the happiness of the child. Peek into our room and you'll see toddlers who are happy, engaged, and eager to be here.
"The hands-on learning and the Montessori method are helping both of our children thrive — and most importantly, they enjoy and want to be at school. St. Peter's has made a big difference in my whole family's life."

Ready for Children's House
Between two-and-a-half and three, as language and independence blossom, your child grows curious about what lies ahead — and moves up to our Primary classroom for ages 3 to 6.
Frequently asked questions
What ages is Nido II for?
Nido II serves toddlers from about 18 to 36 months.
Is my toddler too young for Montessori?
Not at all — this is an ideal age. Toddlers are driven to do things for themselves, and our environment channels that into purposeful practical-life work that builds coordination, language, and independence.
What does a typical day look like?
A predictable rhythm of self-chosen work, gentle care routines, outdoor time, and grace-and-courtesy lessons, all within a warm, low-ratio classroom.
How does Nido II prepare my child for Children's House?
Toddlers build the independence, focus, and self-care skills that let them step confidently into the 3–6 Children's House classroom when they're ready.
