Big Steps for Curious Toddlers (1-3 Years)
Early Experiences - Growing Through Play, Language and Connection
Toddlers are natural explorers. Every moment is an opportunity to learn, move and connect.
At Kids Academy, our Early Experiences program supports your child’s curiosity with nurturing educators, meaningful routines and environments designed for discovery.
We know these years are filled with big feelings and even bigger milestones. Our educators work closely with families to help every toddler grow in confidence, language and independence, at their own pace, in their own way.
Grounded in Language, Play and Relationships
Between ages 1 and 3, children’s brains are developing rapidly, forming the foundations for communication, thinking and emotional understanding.
Our Early Experiences program is built around the internationally recognised Abecedarian Approach Australia (3A), a research-based practice proven to boost children’s language, literacy and social-emotional skills through rich daily interactions.
This includes:
- Learning Games - simple, joyful experiences that teach early language, thinking and cooperation.
- Conversational Reading - interactive storytelling that develops comprehension and vocabulary.
- Enriched Caregiving - transforming everyday routines like mealtimes and dressing into moments of connection and learning.
The 3A Approach empowers our educators to make every interaction meaningful, supporting your child’s social, emotional and cognitive growth.
What Your Toddler Will Experience
Each toddler’s day is shaped around their interests, energy and rhythm. Your child might enjoy:
- A warm morning welcome and connection time with their educator.
- Language-rich play, music and movement in the Toddler Talk zone.
- Messy art and creative exploration in Little Artists.
- Story time and imaginative play that builds communication and empathy.
- Outdoor adventures in safe, shaded spaces.
- Shared mealtimes that build independence and friendships.
- Rest and quiet moments in cosy, comfortable areas.
Every nappy change, meal and nap is logged and shared with you through our secure Storypark family app.
Designed for Discovery
Our toddler rooms are bright, open and filled with spaces that inspire hands-on learning. You’ll find:
- Discovery Zone - exploration with natural materials, textures and objects.
