Toddlers: two to three.
Your child's daily experiences will foster independence and a growing curiosity about the world around them. As their personalities and friendships develop, we support their emotional expression and introduce simple concepts like numbers, colours, and shapes through indoor and outdoor play.
In our toddler room, we continue to encourage exploration while preparing children for the next stage - preschool. We promote independence through self-selection of activities, handwashing, serving fruits and vegetables, and pouring water. Our planning and challenges cater to each child's ongoing learning within both indoor and outdoor areas.
Your child will have free-flow access to a secure outdoor space where activities are enhanced daily to stimulate learning about their surroundings.
As toddlers form strong relationships with peers, their language skills progress, and our practitioners support their creativity and social development. We understand that children may display various emotions and behaviours during this phase, so our team is dedicated to providing guidance and support to you and your child.
We adopt a positive approach to behaviour, focusing on rewarding good actions and avoiding negative labelling. Our staff also proactively encourage health and self-care, assisting in the smooth transition from nappies to pants at the right time.
We recognise that transitions can be challenging for parents and children. We inform you about your child's progression into preschool and ensure they become familiar with their new environment and key staff members.
