Come and join us for a weekly play date with your little one! 


Classes provide an exciting environment to experiment and explore. Safe with you close by. Your little toddler will try out fun new activities and construct essential skills for learning.


Through guided play with age appropriate toys, gross and fine motor activities, music and baby massage, baby will learn and develop while bonding with you.


The stage between a toddler’s first and second birthday, is one of immense changes. As your child makes the transition from baby to toddler, he/she might need more emotional support. Children develop rapidly both physically and mentally during this stage of life. Therefore, we endeavor to play an important role in facilitating this. 


Play, is the most important way of learning, and we give lots of time in this class for constructive play to take place. Children acquire the essential life skills they will need for a lifetime of learning, including sharing, listening, social interaction and problem solving through play. Both indoor and outdoor play is closely guided.


We strive to create a loving, caring and nurturing atmosphere in this class, which will help the child feel secure and safe and grow in their individual strengths and character.


We will develop the following skills: gross and fine motor skills, emotional and social skills, language and cognitive skills, creativity, concentration and perceptual skills. We work on walking skills, preparing your child for potty training, good balance, clear speech and clapping games. Developing your toddler as a whole.
