TUATUA
Tuatua is our toddlers' area and is for tamariki 2 years to 3.5 years of age.
Toddlers are developing their identities as autonomous learners. They are discovering how to navigate the expectations they encounter in different contexts. Their desire to explore and know their world, to increase their independence and to have greater control can be supported by familiar, sensitive adults who know and understand them. In our Toddler room we have a 1:5 ratio and a maximum of fourteen children per day. Children are typically aged between 2 – 3 and a half years of age.
For our Toddlers, our main learning focuses include:
- Social competency: developing social skills, building relationships with teachers and peers, learning how to work alongside and with friends.
- Language development: developing language, understanding our emotions, and learning how to express them; comprehension and articulation
- Self-help skills: developing the tools and techniques to care for ourselves, listen to our bodies and develop independence.
We believe in following the children’s lead and building a strong relationship with each of our tamariki and their whānau to truly know how to activate their curiosity and potential.
