Smart Toddler 1 & 2

Ages 18 mths to 35 mths

Our Smart Toddler programmes focus on the intrinsic nature of toddlers who are curious, inquisitive and active. They will enthusiastically use their five senses to actively explore the world around them. They find pleasure in discovering through cause and effect completing basic tasks. We foster experimentation. Younger toddlers learn through trial and error. What may look like unfocused play is really testing how the world works. For example, dropping an object in water and observing whether it floats or sinks is testing a hypothesis. Repeatedly dropping a toy off of the high chair tray to see if it makes a loud sound helps toddlers understand cause and effect.
