This film shows the Toddler environment in action: how children build trust with their educators, what settling-in actually looks like, how educators respond to biting and big feelings, how each child's progress is tracked through daily observation, and how readiness for Primary is recognised. Parents also share what changed at home.

A Do-it-Yourself culture

Toddlers often are in a frustrating position: they want to do things for themselves, but do not know how. Many tantrums can be avoided by enabling a child to do things for himself at a time when he is eager to do so.

In the Toddler Program, a toddler spends a large amount of time learning the self-help skills that lead to independence from constant adult help. In our classrooms, we offer endless opportunities to practice and master everyday tasks, thus giving them a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Language development

Toddlers are ripe for the development of language, with a special sensitivity to absorb language they hear around them.

The Toddler Program supports this development through a variety of custom designed language materials to expand vocabulary. Further, spoken language development is encouraged through group activities, guided conversation, modelling, vocabulary lessons, reading, and 1-1 interaction.By participating in conversations, listening to stories, classifying objects and learning songs and poems, they nurture their budding language skills.

social skills

In most cases, a child in the Toddler Program is going through a first experience of being a part of a broader community The child is gently encouraged to be a member of this society.

We guide your child to develop the bedrock skills he needs to live together peacefully with other children and adults. Waiting one’s turn, courtesy, care for the environment and patience are important lessons that each child is introduced to. Because children this age have a strong tendency to imitate what they see, our teachers constantly model appropriate social skills, good manners and consideration for others.

"Parents usually ask" section

How does settling-in work, and how long does it take?
We settle each child gradually: an acclimatization meeting with you and your child first, then short classroom sessions that extend as your child shows readiness. Most children settle within days to two or three weeks, and some need longer. That range is normal. We watch your child's cues (reduced crying, brief moments of engagement) and extend time only when they're ready.

What if my child has never been away from me, or has intense separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a normal part of development and a sign of a healthy bond. For children who struggle intensely, we tailor the approach: extra acclimatization visits with you present, a consistent primary adult staying close in the classroom, and no forcing of engagement. One thing we coach parents on: avoid phrases like "I'll be waiting right here" that create false expectations. A brief, confident goodbye, done the same way every day, works far better than a long one.

What will my toddler actually do all day?
Real, purposeful work in a carefully prepared, child-sized environment: practical life (pouring, transferring, stringing, food preparation), language through vocabulary lessons, one-to-one interaction, songs and poems, sensory work with textures, sounds, smells, and weights, and care of themselves and their environment. It looks simple; it's how toddlers build concentration, coordination, and confidence.

Do you help with toilet learning, diapers, food, and allergies?
Yes, this is a partnership. Tell us how things work at home (food preferences, allergies, nap rhythms, where your child is with toilet learning) and we align the school routine with it. Independence in eating, dressing, and toileting is built into the toddler program itself.

Who will be with my child in the classroom?
Multiple adults, with the strongest adult support in the youngest environments. During settling-in, a consistent primary adult stays close to your child, offering reassurance without forcing engagement, every day, so your child knows exactly who their anchor is.

Can my 2.5-year-old skip Toddler and go straight to Primary?
We usually recommend the Toddler environment first for children new to school, even developmentally advanced ones, because it's designed for a child's first-ever transition away from home: socialisation, emotional security, and independence at their pace. If your child shows readiness for more, early Primary materials are offered within the Toddler environment itself. The right entry point is decided together during admissions.

Is daycare available for toddlers?
Yes, for enrolled students. Timings vary by campus and are shared during the admissions conversation.
