Learning Environment That Support the Joy of Learning
Apart from qualified educators, the environment in which children spend their early formative years also determines how they play, learn and develop. Toddler Town was designed with kids in mind and is decorated as a kid-sized traffic town with special features such as traffic lanes, petrol station, traffic lights, driveways, bike paths, road markings and much more. Most of the furniture at Toddler Town is child-sized to inspire superior individualized learning

SENSORY AREA
All the children benefit from a dedicated sensory room.
This area has many elements which encourage the child’s senses through a soothing and stimulating environment.
KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING AREA
Children should be involved in the practical application of their knowledge and skills which will promote self-esteem through allowing them to make decisions about what to investigate and how to do it.
They will be supported in developing the knowledge, skills and understanding that will help them to make sense of the world.
