By the age of 36 months a toddler has accomplished a lot of physical development, e.g. they can run, climb, kick, throw, turn, carry things and pedal. They enjoy being physically active and exploring their world with these newly developed skills. In the latter part of this phase they also start developing bladder and bowel control.
Through their exploration, they develop a distinct sense of self and, although, they get frustrated, they enjoy doing things independently. They continue developing their communication skills and enjoy spending time with their friends. In this phase toddlers also start developing a sense of numbers. A toddler’s ability to pay attention also starts improving and increasing during this time.

During this phase our staff spends a great deal of time on gross motor
development through physical activities such as running, jumping, dancing,
climbing, crawling, playing ball etc.

Their sensory, auditory and fine motor
skills are developed through activities such as messy play, playing with
playdough, peg activities, exposing them to different textures, singing action
songs, reciting nursery rhymes, listening to stories etc.

Learning through play is of utmost importance and our little ones are given ample free play time. Patient and compassionate focus is also given to toilet training during this
time of our toddlers’ development.
