Our Baby Room: Although we have a dedicated room and sessions for babies, we also provide opportunities for them to mix with our toddlers. The babies are encouraged to observe and copy the positive behavior of the toddler groups. We find this gradual involvement helps them to confidently try new things and to move up to the older groups when ready. 

Baby Activities: Songs and rhymes in French and English; sung by carers to babies, hand and feet painting, painting, ball pool, stand-up activity centers, general messy play, noisy activities with musical toys and instruments, sensorial activities, stories, gross motor activities.

Our Toddler Rooms: We have 3 toddler rooms here at Tiny Tots. The children also use the Art room for messy and wet activities and the dancing room for Monkeynastix and Dancing. They go to our Computer room to play on the computer. 

Toddler Activities: Singing lessons, play dough, painting, story time, drama, French & English activities, computers, musical instruments, drawing, collage making, dancing, ball activities, truck & car, riding cars and bikes outside, building with large blocks and legos, jigsaw puzzles, farm animals, climbing frames indoors and outside, counting, role players, dolls, size association, hide and seek, chalk drawing outdoors and playground with slides &. seesaws.Our climate here in Tamarin permits us to do many outdoor activities.

We encourage communication and speech in French and English, especially good manners. Thank you and please are reinforced.

Toilet training begins at this age. As soon as parents see that their children are ready to begin, we send home our booklet on the subject and begin training at the Centre.
