Tiny Turtles – Ages 2-3 

Tiny Turtles

Developing your child’s natural curiosity

Our 2-3yr room offers a program which promotes children’s curiosity, discovery, enthusiasm, exploration and experimentation. Children in this age bracket are beginning to develop more competencies with skills and form independence. 

Our educators encourage independence and skill development by offering a play-based program which incorporates spontaneous, child-led and educator guided learning experiences, all with appropriate scaffolding and role modelling from our highly qualified and experienced team of educators.

The educators will work with you to help your child achieve their learning goals, and promote self-help skills such as toilet training, dressing themselves, tidying up and taking care of belongings.

Along with these important things, through small group and planned activities, the program also focuses on basic age-appropriate concepts such as colours, shapes, numbers and their body.

Activities

Our on-going children’s development program offers educational and recreational programs which are designed to optimise the creativity, mental and physical advancement of your child. Self expression is encouraged through a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities, such as music, arts and crafts. Children’s interests are supported and encouraged through individual and group stimuli, all in the name of fun!

Meals

We provide morning tea and afternoon tea daily, which means you can pack and prepare your child’s favourite foods for lunch. This also means your child will develop the skills to open their lunch boxes and packets before they get to Kindergarten.

Education

Caves Beach ELC have a strong belief in providing an educational program that encourages children to explore, create and investigate the world around them.

Our program is centered around play- based learning, spontaneous experiences that derive from educator observations and children’s interests and input from our families and community.

We research and plan experiences that are thoughtful, meaningful and take into account children’s age, abilities and strengths./p>
