Your busy toddler will love our Little Explorers class, specifically designed to meet the needs of busy and inquisitive little ones who are loving their new-found freedom on two feet.

Every week your toddler is encouraged to explore their space and gain confidence through various adventures and activities. Beginning the class with child led play incites feelings of choice, decision making and independence. It is fascinating to watch little ones play and during this part of our class, our rich and varied array of toys offers plenty of opportunities for discovery and exploration, gross motor practice, language development, fine motor practice, social skills and independence, critical thinking and problem solving whilst fostering curiosity and self esteem.

These skills are fundamental for healthy brain and body development.

“True learning – learning that is permanent and useful, that leads to intelligent action and further learning – canaries only out of the experience, interest, and concerns of the learner”

-John Holt
