Hello from the Emu Room (2-3 years)
Our Room
Our toddler room is always filled with a variety of stimulating activities to keep your children on their feet—we know how energetic they can be! We provide experiences that challenge, support, and encourage your child to grow and learn.
Growth
Our toddler program is designed to stimulate, challenge, and provide opportunities for your child to develop skills they will need later in life. Providing a routine is an important part of helping children feel comfortable and encourages them to try new things. Our educators ensure a routine is always maintained in the Toddler room, including self-help skills such as toilet training, self-feeding, applying sunscreen and filling up water bottles.
Activities
Our team encourage toddlers to stay active through physical activity in our fitness programs. These programs challenge their motor skills and coordination and also allows them to build strong social relationships with other children. Creative art & craft and roleplaying provide children with the opportunity to use their imagination, freedom and expression.
