Toddlers program
Toddlers are full of wonder and energy—and we embrace it! Every day, our experienced early years practitioners provide a calm, stimulating environment where children can make choices, express themselves, and build confidence through meaningful play.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), tailoring learning experiences to your child’s needs and interests across all areas of development, including communication, physical movement, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.
