Toddler (24 – 35 Months)
Our Toddler rooms is called the Flamingo Room. It caters for children aged 24 months to 35 months.
The Toddler Room is an inclusive and safe environment, where each child is supported to feel a sense of belonging and begin to establish lifelong skills. At an early age children start developing strong relationships with their peers through group play learning experiences, which supports their social wellbeing.
Children enjoy a stimulating environment where their curiosity will be encouraged, allowing them to experience new concepts and challenges in a safe and supportive setting. Developing literacy, language, independence and self-help skills, is a big focus for children in our Toddler Room to help support them in their future transition to the preschool environment.
Educators operate off a daily routine that is designed to maximise learning opportunities, and individuals children’s needs are taken into consideration with flexibility being offered where needed.
