Supporting Toileting Independence

Join us for a warm, supportive morning designed for toddlers and their caregivers. Together, we’ll explore gentle Montessori practices that nurture toileting readiness, body awareness, and independence while connecting with other families in a calm, encouraging environment.

Rather than focusing on pressure or timelines, this class centers on observing readiness cues, preparing the home environment, and building confidence through simple daily routines that respect each child’s natural development.

Who it’s for:

Toddlers (walkers up to 36 months) with a caregiver. Currently enrolled and new families are welcome. Feel free to invite a friend! Care for siblings is provided, and infants may remain with their caregiver during class.

Topics We’ll Explore

• Recognizing toileting readiness cues and natural timing
• Practical life activities that support self care and coordination
• Creating a toileting friendly home environment
• Encouraging independence with calm routines
• Language and communication around body awareness

Why Families Love It

Gentle, respectful guidance during a big developmental milestone
Practical take home tools that reduce stress and build confidence
A supportive community of caregivers walking through the same season

What to Bring

Comfortable play clothes, a labeled water bottle, extra set of clothes or diapers, and indoor slippers.
