First-aid certified
Dedicated
Active Explorers Toddlers ( 1-3 )
Our play-based learning program encourages your toddler’s natural curiosity, language skills, problem-solving, imagination and creativity.
Growing together
Each day, through active play and carefully planned activities, your toddler explores, safely discovers their boundaries and expands their social, emotional and cognitive skills.
We recognise your toddler’s individuality and increasing sense of independence. That’s why we design our rooms and programs to support your toddler’s development, and our trained educators create engaging and enriching learning experiences with your child.

Discover, play & grow
Filled with sensory toys and equipment for play-based fun and learning, our rooms foster your toddler’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development.
- Our educators take time to work with your toddler to encourage their understanding of their developing emotions.
- Immersed in our language-rich environment, your toddler learns words and sentences by singing songs, telling stories and engaging in conversations.
- As part of our curriculum, our educators help your child develop their self-help skills, including serving their own food, putting on coats and hats, and making choices.
- We offer a dedicated dining room for children’s meal times and cooking activities.
- Our multi-purpose Earth Room focuses on sensory regulation to provide children with a unique learning space away from their typical room.
Passionate & qualified
In our warm and welcoming environment, children are encouraged to confidently explore the world around them.
All our educators are:
We spend time with you learning about your toddler’s needs, routines and preferences. We develop a gentle bond with your child to ensure they feel safe and supported. We create a secure environment for your child to learn, explore and grow.
A day in the life
From learning how to solve problems—to discovering books, stories, and words and creatively expressing themselves through activities like painting, singing, and dancing—experience the joy as your child becomes more independent, adventurous, and confident during these wonderful years.
We understand that every family has their own schedule, and we update you throughout the day on our Kool Konnect app.
The day starts with a warm welcome as we help you transition your toddler to our care during drop-off and discuss important updates or news.
Your little one receives a nutritious, age-appropriate meal.
We engage in open play-based learning based on our Kool Beginnings curriculum.
Depending on your toddler’s schedule, we take a break for a healthy snack.
A delicious and nutritious meal, carefully prepared by our in-house chef, is served.
Rest time is encouraged for those who need it. Children can have a nap on their own sleep mat with linen provided and laundered by Kool Kidz. Meanwhile, activities for non-nappers continue!
Another break for a nutritious meal.
Open play-based learning fosters creativity and exploration even at the youngest age.
At the end of the day, we take time to talk about your child's day so you can stay informed and connected.
