Your child's day - Joden Place
Toddlers (15 months – 2½ years)
Our Toddlers room reflects the need for a safe, nurturing and flexible approach to understanding the needs and wants of the children in this class.
The daily routine is also reflective of the children’s energy for each day yet we aim to maintain the routine as much as possible so to add to each child’s level of acceptance and security within the kindy environment.
We strongly encourage positive relations with all families and work together to provide your child with daily events that are familiar to them whilst also respecting your family ethics, culture and dietary beliefs.
We do ask that the children arrive by 9.30am so we are able to ensure a smooth transition into the day whilst also encouraging your child to feel welcomed and part of their peer group during our morning welcome.
Rest time is an important part of each day so to allow each child to re-energise themselves for the afternoon. During rest time we listen to peaceful music and sit with the children to help them feel calm and relaxed. We welcome you to bring along their bottle, special toy, dummy or blanket to help them feel more comfortable.
Our focus with all children of this age is support their social and emotional development before anything else. This in turn inspires each child to love learning which then becomes an integral part of their true self for life.
Overall our toddlers room is full of free self expression, structured experiences to enhance each child’s development and a focus on supporting each child to feel confident, accepted, loved and encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace.
