Toddlers are little people with big emotions. Our play-based program supports them to thrive in an environment where they can move at their own pace. We provide plenty of time for exploration, self-help and social skill development, including communication, emotional awareness and empathy. Their efforts are always acknowledged and supported. Our caring educators guide them through challenges like frustration or disappointment, whilst ensuring they have time to rest and recharge.
All of our routines are flexible and adaptable to the children's needs

At Simba Education, we believe that flexibility is key to fostering an environment where children thrive. A flexible routine is central to our approach as flexibility allows us to adapt our daily schedule based on the interests, needs, and rhythms of the children. Each group of children is unique so a flexible routine allows us to respond to the dynamics of the group, whether that means extending a popular activity, adjusting to varying energy levels, or incorporating teachable moments as they arise. For an example of our Toddler daily routine, see above.
Are nappies provided?
Yes. We provide nappies, wipes and barrier cream for our children. To see a full list of our offerings see our location pages.
Our preschool program is flexible, offering children opportunities to enhance their social, emotional, and language skills while strengthening their sense of self-confidence.
