About the Toddler Room
At Unley Community Childcare Centre we have a strong focus on creating an encouraging, and safe environment for children to practice new skills, experiment, and develop dispositions for learning such as resilience, and perseverance.
Our nurturing educators use encouragement, modelling and scaffolding to support children to persist through challenges, grow their skills, develop their independence and take pride in their achievements and attempts. Our educators work with children to support them to develop strategies to safely and effectively express themselves, understand and process their emotions and develop the skills for self-regulation.
Our program has a strong focus on promoting children’s emerging autonomy by encouraging children to explore, ask questions, be curious and express a sense of wonder and joy in their learning and play. The program is child led, with our educators using children’s interests and intentional teaching strategies to explore and learn about a range of concepts, topics, and ideas.
