Your cheeky toddler

(15 months - 3 years)

Nurturing and supporting your toddler's growth from the very first day.

Consistency of care and learning in a safe and secure environment with predictable relationships and daily rhythms is what Being with Toddlers is all about.

Being with Toddlers is for children aged two and three and offers important social and emotional development and learning, which is key as your child grows and develops towards school age.

The program supports your child as they become themselves, develop friendships and understand relationships with others. We want them to explore, discover, and grow as they make sense of their world.

Toddlers Program

15 months to 24 months

Consistency of care, learning in a safe and secure environment along with familiar educators and daily routines are important in the life of a Toddler. 

Within the Toddlers program, children aged 15 months – 24 months engage in a play-based learning program, which is built on world leading Early Childhood research and is tailored to their strengths, interests and needs. This environment is designed around the toddler’s emerging sense of identity. It’s a space where children can feel safe and supported. Encompassing their developmental needs and abilities children are provided with multiple opportunities participate in small group experiences and one on one interactions with their Educators. The Educators support children to further strengthen their independence through encouraging them to self-select learning experiences, assist with meal service and self-care routines. 

We want them to explore, discover and grow as they make sense of their world.

Toddlers plus program

The Toddlers Plus program is a newly developed learning environment. This space has been designed to cater for children from 24 months to 3 years of age. The Toddlers Plus Educators foster and scaffold children to actively explore a wide range of learning experiences in their year before starting Kindergarten. Within the learning environment the children feel safe and secure to experiment and make new discoveries as they develop a deeper understanding of themselves and of the world in which they live. 

The Toddlers Plus children are becoming stronger and more capable with their self-help skills. Within the program opportunities to practice and care for their own needs are promoted, which encourages confident behaviour.  Educators provide spaces to ensure the children have opportunities to interact and work together, as well as encouraging their own independent learning. We provide familiar activities and learning experiences for children to explore, while introducing new interest based problem-solving activities that expand their knowledge through experiential play.

As a chef, I want to emphasize the importance of nutrition in toddler growth and development. Good nutrition fuels exploration, learning, and play. Healthy meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins support physical and cognitive development, helping toddlers thrive.

We focus on preparing nutritious, appealing meals that cater to toddlers' needs, fostering healthy eating habits and encouraging them to try new flavors. With the right nutrition, our toddlers can reach their full potential. Let’s cultivate a lifelong love for healthy eating that nourishes their growing bodies and curious minds!
