Toddlers (2-3 year olds)
Our program for two year-olds offers children a secure, loving environment, with an established routine and schedule. Weekly themes are introduced which incorporate the developmental goals of the program. This begins the process of a structured day where planned educational activities and creative play time offer a balance in your two to three year-old's development.
Toddlers are always in the moment experiencing information through all their senses. Our 2 year old program strikes a balance between the nurturing care toddlers received as infants and the positive growing environment in which they learn about the world. Since two year olds don’t sit still for too long, we’ve designed an environment that keeps their busy minds and hands satisfied and educated. We provide educational opportunities through the use of play and sensory opportunities. Our program is designed to provide an individual curriculum at each child’s own pace while offering a fun and sensory experience.
Our toddlers learning room is large and flexible with room for active, cooperative play as well as personal space. Our discovery areas and programs help your child learn specific skills through hands-on exploration and monthly learning themes. At Wakefield Early Learning Centre we provide age appropriate learning. We gradually introduce key concepts to the toddlers to develop their future literacy skills with the use of building and letter blocks, stories, activities, music, cooking, movement and monthly science projects. We make learning exciting, focused and fun!
At lunch time all the children are invited to our dining room to enjoy a hand cooked hot lunch. This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to socialise and encourage one another to eat certain meals they wouldn’t normally experience. After lunch the children enjoy the centre’s library area before returning their learning rooms for a sleep/rest time. In the afternoon the children continue to enjoy our centre’s preschool program before enjoying our large natural playground area outside in the afternoon. Afternoon tea and late afternoon tea is provided to all children prior to families returning to the centre in the afternoons. Our centre is open from 7.30am until 6pm; providing an educational long day care centre service to all families.
Each child will have a personalised portfolio to record and visually demonstrate to families the development of your child. Your Portfolio will contain observations, photos, examples of your child’s work, as well as regular dialogue of your child’s day. At Wakefield our team love to involve parents and keep you, our valued Parents up-to-date by providing overviews, parents letters, visual daily journals and a daily visual slide show of your child’s day.
