Our Toddlers

Terrific Toddlers

Toddler rooms are spacious, bright and colourful.

Sunny Days actively encourages 'learning through play', and it is here that toddlers can participate in a range of activities such as reading stories and poems, drawing, listening to music, singing, dressing up, and a home corner.

There is one carer for every four toddlers.

Structured activities include creative play, imaginative play, sand, water, play dough, clay, painting, construction and growing seeds. At this stage, they are also given a gentle introduction to letters, numbers, colours and shapes.

  • have lots of hugs and attention
