Toddlers

Toddlers develop their identities as autonomous learners and rapidly build their physical, social, cognitive, and language abilities. All they need is opportunity to engage in rich and rewarding environment.

As part of our Toddler Program, parents have the option of choosing to join their toddlers to attend experiential sessions for 1.5 hours, five days a week. The goal of our Toddler program is to provide a space where toddlers can play across interactive learning spaces and they can move & explore freely. As this program is the first step where infants socialize and express, our aim is to provide a warm, supportive environment where there are huge opportunities to develop sensory & fine motor skills.

Evoke a thought and I will sow. Give me more, and I will grow.)

THE TEACHER

The teacher plays a dual role in the classroom – facilitating and learning alongside children. They nurture curiosity, propose hypotheses, and support problem-solving.

Teachers initiate experiences, build upon them, and help children revisit and reflect.

We Value Parent Participation

THE PARENT

Teachers, parents, and children are seen as collaborators in the learning process. As a child’s first educator, parents play a vital role in their development.

An open exchange of ideas between parents and teachers is essential in creating a positive and meaningful learning environment.
