Toddler (18 months to 2 years)
As Toddlers they are becoming more self-aware, developing their own personalities and exploring their own emotions - expressing themselves in creative ways! We provide a free play environment with sensory, creative and cognative activities. Our underlying philosophy is the process and not the product. Daily group time includes short stories, discussions, lots of songs and instruments; puppets are frequently used. An emphasis is placed on "social interaction" encouraging the children to communicate with each other through their play.
