12 – 24 months

Toddlers are little scientists on the move. Our program channels their boundless energy into structured discovery — where every wobble, word, and 'me do it!' is celebrated as real developmental work.

Curriculum

The six areas in action.

How every developmental area comes alive in the Toddler classroom.

Cognitive

Simple puzzles, sorting bins, and cause-and-effect play grow early problem-solving.

Social-Emotional

Guided sharing and side-by-side play introduce the first tools of friendship.

Language

Books, songs, and open-ended questions fuel a fast-growing vocabulary.

Creative

Finger paint, playdough, and shakers give toddlers dozens of ways to express themselves.

Physical

Walking, climbing, and dumping & filling build coordination and confidence.

Health & Care

Self-feeding, cup drinking, and hand-washing routines lay lifelong habits.
