EARLY TODDLER (18 Months - 2 Years)
Although these little ones are growing in confidence and skills, we know they are still babies, so our experienced and compassionate educators are attentive, comforting and listen at their level.
We have so much fun painting, building, making and getting messy! This is a time where children leap in development. They become familiar with their limits, start chattering, become sociable. Everything is a wonderful big experiment! We support and nurture their growing confidence as they move to greater independence.
Growing toddlers require help navigating boundaries in a safe and fun environment.
OUR PROGRAM
Our program is based on building your child’s independence as they navigate early friendships, communication and skills. Our approach to play-based learning indulges their inquisitive minds through discovery, exploration and investigation. By building on each child's interests, we can extend their knowledge through a range of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day.
Our educators encourage imagination through art to express emotions and ideas. Whether it is painting, music or dancing, our activities help promote creative thinking and personal expression. With a variety of craft, books, construction, puzzles and natural materials, their language, literacy and numeracy experiences are integrated through every aspect of their daily journey.
We aim to further promote the children's self-help skills and sense of agency within the daily routine by encouraging the children to wash their hands and faces, hand out water bottles and dress themselves.
