Did You Know?
Early toilet learning is an important part of our Toddler Program. At this stage, children begin to recognize their physical needs and develop independence to care for themselves. Our Guides support this process with patience, consistency, and encouragement, helping each child gain confidence and pride in their growing self-sufficiency. This gentle, respectful approach builds trust and fosters a sense of accomplishment that carries into every area of learning.
Guides
Our Guides support each child’s natural drive to learn by offering purposeful activities that encourage movement, choice, and concentration. From early practical life lessons to sensory exploration and social interaction, every moment is an opportunity for growth and discovery.
Toddler Milestones
As children move from the Nido environment into the Toddler Program, our Guides observe key signs of readiness that show growing independence and developmental progress. These include walking confidently on their own, feeding themselves and beginning to use utensils, showing interest in dressing and handwashing, expressing their needs through emerging language, and demonstrating curiosity, focus, and the ability to follow simple directions. These milestones reflect an exciting stage of growth and signal that a child is ready to thrive in our Toddler community, where independence blossoms, curiosity deepens, and the joy of learning begins to shine.
