Between the ages of 2-3, children have a growing need for functional independence, movement and language development. Dr Maria Montessori referred to the toddler years as a time of intense exploration and learning.
Our Toddler Community
Age: 2 - 3 Years
Our toddler community gives your child a sense of safety and belonging as they develop self-esteem and a lifelong joy for learning.
Your child will enjoy activities that aid the development of concentration, assist motor movement and facilitate independence.
Thriving as independent learners
Your toddler will thrive in a nurturing environment that supports their natural curiosity. They will be offered a variety of activities that encourage them to learn and explore at their own pace, fostering confidence, interest and love for learning. They will develop fine and gross motor skills, co-ordination and concentration, laying the groundwork for future academic learning.
Your child will be guided toward independence in early language, socialisation and emotional regulation, by engaging in a curriculum that includes:
• Practical life skills, including food preparation
• Fine motor activities
• Self-expression/ language
• Gross motor activities
• Toileting and self-care
• Care for environment
Thriving within a community
Our Toddler Community is an emotionally predictable and stable environment based on order. We call it a ‘community’ as spending time as a regular group creates a sense of belonging, with children coming together each day forming bonds and learning to co-exist in a group setting.
