Toddler Time
We provide 2 Toddler Rooms which specifically cater for tamariki aged 2-3 years. Toddlers are eager to learn, and their brains are hungry for new and exciting challenges. To support this busy time, our environment encourages toddler’s brain development through free-play, and a mixture of both fun and educational experiences.
There is a healthy blend of one-on-one teacher time, individual play and group play, with games, talking, singing, story-time and more. We teach our toddlers how to communicate, be empathetic, take turns and be kind, all while ensuring we set limits and boundaries, encourage positive behaviour and are always there for support and love. We will give you valuable feedback on your toddler’s progress after each day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do toddlers learn at Remarkable Kids?
Our programme focuses on key developmental areas including language, communication, social interaction, and problem-solving. We also place strong emphasis on physical development, so toddlers master motor skills in a safe environment.
What activities do toddlers do during the day?
A toddler’s day is a blend of uninterrupted free play and intentional learning experiences that spark curiosity. Activities include everything from music and storytelling to physical play and creative exploration with interactive resources.
How do you support toddler behaviour, boundaries, and positive guidance?
We offer clear, gentle boundaries that give toddlers the freedom to explore safely while learning about responsibility. Our educators focus on building independence, such as supporting potty training, while ensuring every child feels secure and valued as they test their new skills.
How do you help toddlers build communication and social skills?
Teachers facilitate social interaction by encouraging tamariki to connect and communicate with their peers during group play and communal mealtimes. This helps toddlers understand the foundations of sharing, empathy, and cooperation in a natural, supportive setting.
Do you give parents daily feedback or updates on toddler progress?
Yes, every child has a personal learning profile book that documents their achievements, milestones, and daily progress. These profiles are shared regularly with whānau to ensure you stay connected to your child’s learning journey and development.
How do you help toddlers settle into daycare if it’s their first time?
We use familiar routines to help toddlers feel safe and comfortable as they transition into our care. Our educators work closely with whānau to establish a predictable rhythm for the day, which builds the confidence tamariki need to settle in and start exploring.
