TODDLERS

We believe that every child is created for a purpose

We offer a toddlers program that caters to the unique needs of toddlers from 1 years old to 2 years old.  We believe that every toddler deserves the best possible start in life, which is why we've designed our program to be both engaging and educational. Our activities are specifically tailored to target key developmental areas, including cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills. With our program, your toddler will receive the support and guidance they need to thrive.  They are aware of themselves and their surroundings as they play, learn, speak and interact.

We encourage toddlers to walk on the soft mats and outside grass areas, we assist by holding their hands so that they can learn to walk and jump with confidence.  We have active boards that encourage children to work independently, as toddlers like to become independent, we also encourage them to dress and feed themselves.  We ensure the environment is full of new objects to fulfill toddlers desire to explore.  We provide a happy, polite, caring environment where we can encourage children to play together.  We encourage toddlers to explore new things, we read to the children daily, we ask them to find different objects and to name objects such as body parts. These activities will assist toddlers to be able to recognize the names of familiar people and objects, form simple phrases and sentences, and follow simple instructions and directions in the environment.  We play matching games and do simple puzzles with the toddlers.  

The toddlers are fed according to the parents request, and all formula and prepared food

is kept in the school fridge readily available for the teachers.  We introduce the school lunch

to the children fully from 18 months.  We have sleeping mats that we use for the toddlers to

sleep on.  We have changing mats where children are changed as needed.  We will start potty

training if the toddler is ready.  We will wean them off the bottle during the day when the

parents are ready.
