The discovery years

Toddler development

As they grow out of their babyhood and into a toddler, the experiences you child enjoys can have a huge impact on the way she approaches life. Curiosity, determination, focus and an appetite for learning (and fun!) can all be fostered and developed at this flourishing time.

Time to explore

As your child learns to separate from you, allow her the time and space to make her own discoveries. Toddlers are no different to adults: we all learn best when solving problems of our own choosing.

Heuristic play

Toddlers love to experiment. Whether it’s destruction-testing a toy or endlessly repeating an action, it’s how they make sense of the world.

Language development

If you only do one thing with your toddler, have a conversation.

Sorting and ordering

Early maths that’s easy and fun.

Boredom

Entertainment is the enemy. Make time for boredom. It fosters independence, creativity, motivation and resilience.
