Our Toddlers Programme, focuses on developing supportive, trusting relationships, creating rich environments that encourage very young children to explore and discover the world around them.
Our teachers are qualified early childhood professionals who have been trained extensively to guide families and help children bond with each other through fun, imaginative, colourful and exciting activities and through joyful experiences such as age appropriate storytelling, songs, music and creative play in an engaging manner and in a safe and hygienic environment.
Teachers help toddlers to engage in experiences designed to support their holistic development. We value and respect parents as their children’s first teachers. That’s why we encourage teachers to partner with parents in learning everything they can about their infants and toddlers to personalise their needs and plan for their development. As a result, our programme creates a strong three-way bond between child, parent, and teacher.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][stm_title title_tag=”h3″ sep_enable=”true” title=”The PBL Curriculum” sep_margin_b=”41px”][/stm_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
