Our Toddler programme follows Montessori philosophies that encourage self-help skills, vocabulary development, independence and self-confidence. Classroom materials include practical life activities, sensorial equipment, puzzles, books, large muscle equipment and riding toys. |
|
During the day, the children enjoy group circle time that usually includes stories ,singing, outdoor play time in their own enclosed area, free time when they may choose activities from the shelves, and afternoon nap time for our full-day students |
|
Toddlers may attend morning or full days.
Maximum student:teacher ratio 5:1
Additional staff for music, a resource teacher for our children with special needs, workers on government grant programmes, volunteers and frequent student teachers further reduce our overall ratios. |
