Nurturing Confidence, Curiosity, and Community
Mon – Fri / 06:30 am – 06:30 pm

(18 months – 3 years)

Where curiosity grows, independence blooms, and big feelings feel safe

Our Childcare Center’s Toddlers Program is designed for active, curious little learners who are discovering language, movement, social interaction and their growing sense of self. With responsive educators, calm routines and meaningful learning experiences, toddlers build confidence, independence and strong early skills.
We balance guided play with child-led exploration, grounded in Montessori principles and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)

Language-rich environment

Hands-on exploration

Toddlers learn best through doing. Our experiences include:
• Water & sensory play
• Fine-motor trays
• Messy art exploration
• Loose parts play
• Construction & problem-solving activities

Emotional development & self-expression

We support toddlers in learning:
• how to express needs
• how to regulate big feelings
• how to build early friendships
• how to share and take turns (with support!)

Music, movement & outdoor play

Daily opportunities allow them to climb, run, balance and build their motor skills in a safe and stimulating environment.

What Learning Looks Like for Toddlers

Our program nurtures key developmental milestones:

  • Early language and communication
  • Social confidence & early friendships
  • Emotional awareness and self-regulation
  • Imaginative play and creativity
  • Gross motor skills: climbing, balancing, running
  • Fine motor skills: drawing, threading, stacking
  • Cognitive skills: problem-solving, early numbers, shapes & patterns
  • Independence: self-feeding, packing away, dressing assistance

Toddlers are natural scientists, constantly testing ideas, experimenting with materials and learning cause and effect through play.
