The Wattle Room provides an exciting learning environment for 2-3 year olds. Children at this age are developing rapidly in all areas and are eager to explore, create, and discover. Our program encourages curiosity, builds confidence, and supports emerging independence.
We focus on extending language skills, developing social-emotional capabilities, and providing rich hands-on experiences that lay the foundation for future learning.
Building trusting relationships through responsive, consistent care and one-on-one interactions with primary caregivers.
Safe, age-appropriate sensory experiences including treasure baskets, textures, sounds, and visual stimulation.
Daily reading, singing and talking with toddlers to support their growing vocabulary and communication skills.
Songs, rhymes, and gentle movement activities to develop rhythm, coordination, and spatial awareness.
Build upon children’s fine motor and gross motor development to support increasing coordination, balance, strength, and control of movements.
Provide consistent and responsive support for children’s individual routines, recognising each child’s development, preferences and interests are unique.
