Children’s imagination and independence begins to develop, as they start to explore and make sense of their world.
Your child’s imagination is soaring between the age of two and three. Our Toddler children enjoy beginning their day with child-led outdoor play, as they explore their natural environment and develop a sense of wonder and curiosity.
As we move into our indoor classroom environment, children enjoy activities that develop their fine motor skills and allow them to use their imagination and play ‘make believe’, as they mimic simple situations and practice skills they have encountered in their world. Story time is a favourite amongst our Toddlers as they begin to develop their listening skills.
Our Educators engage with each Toddler in conversational reading, learning games, language priority, and enriched caregiving. These interactions from The Abecedarian Approach Australia (3a) provide abundant opportunities for children to build a strong language foundation, enhancing their cognitive, social, emotional, and linguistic development.
Children begin to develop a sense of independence in our Toddler Classroom. Our Educators provide experiences that encourage this independence, allowing children to develop important self-help skills.
Our Toddler children’s social skills are also developing at this time, as they begin to form friendships with other children. Regular group meeting times and working on group interest-based projects, allows them to feel a sense of belonging and community.
Our Toddler children also enjoy our weekly scheduled incursions and extracurricular activities. They enjoy new experiences and environments to explore as they engage with our community, and our incursions and extracurricular activities enhance classroom learning.
