Toddler Room
2 years – 3 years 1:4 Ratio
The transition from the baby room to the toddler room takes place over a period of time, giving both the child and parent/carer time to feel comfortable and secure with the move. In the toddler room children are involved in more challenging activities which include jigsaws, sand, water, painting, sticking, construction, role play and talking time around the children’s interest. The outside play areas are invaluable and are used as much as possible whatever the weather, we dress accordingly.
Independence is encouraged as part of the daily routine through praise, positive role modelling and providing opportunities where children can make choices moving freely between activities. Great emphasis is placed on encouraging children to develop their language skills through talking time, stories, singing and the use of buzz words.
Toilet training is introduced when you and your child are ready and our skilled staff will support your child to achieve this milestone with sensitivity, respect and the potty dance!
