Sense of Belonging

A warm, welcoming environment where both children and families feel truly valued, respected, and part of our community.

Building Independence Together

As children grow, we actively support the development of independence through gentle, consistent guidance. These self-help skills are essential at this age, and our team provides support to both children and families throughout this important process.

Toilet Training

We work closely with families to support toilet training at each child’s own pace, providing encouragement, consistency, and celebration of every success. Our approach is patient, positive, and guided by your child’s individual readiness.

Self-Feeding Skills

Children are encouraged to use utensils, serve themselves (with support), and develop table manners during mealtimes. We create a relaxed, social dining experience that builds confidence and capability.

Dressing & Self-Care

With gentle guidance, toddlers learn to put on shoes, manage zips, wash their hands independently, and take care of their own belongings. These skills build confidence and a sense of achievement.

Organising Belongings

We help children learn to find their bags, pack away toys, and take responsibility for their personal items—developing organisational skills that will serve them well into the future.
