Toddlers
12 – 24 months
Toddlers learn best in safe, loving places where they can explore, in their own way.
About Toddlers
Our explorer program includes:
- Emotional security and settling, through a consistent key person relationship
- Sensory exploration and physical movement
- Early communication: gestures, sounds and first words
- Parallel play and adult-supported interaction
- Routine, predictability and emotional safety
Treasure baskets and sensory trays refreshed every week. Open shelving at floor level so babies can choose for themselves, child agency begins at 12 months, long before words do.
Key persons who narrate as they go: “You’re feeling the soft wool. Does it feel nice?”
How they learn at this stage: Playing and Exploring.
