Saplings Room — 2 to 3 Years
Between two and three, curiosity becomes conversation. Our Saplings studio layers loose-parts play, toddler-friendly STEM provocations and warm guidance so children move from “I do it!” to “Let’s do it together” — building language, collaboration and early self-help mastery.
Early STEM Play
Magnets that dance, ramps that roll and water wheels that whirl — hands-on science games spark cause-and-effect thinking while strengthening little fingers for later writing.
Language Burst
Daily story circles, baby-sign extensions and song-rich transitions turn new words into confident sentences. Educators narrate play to bridge vocabulary and nurture expressive, two-way conversations.
Independence Routines
Toddler-height sinks, mini-coat hooks and gentle coaching transform dressing, pouring and tidying into proud “I did it!” moments, embedding life-long self-care habits.
Mini Makers Atelier
Up-cycled tubes, gears and real hand tools invite toddlers to design, build and take apart. These open-ended tinkering sessions sharpen fine-motor control, early maths and problem-solving, turning every Sapling into a creative little engineer—and capturing plenty of “ I did it! ” grins.
Mandarin Minis
Ten-minute Mandarin song-and-story bursts hard-wire new neural pathways while celebrating Australia’s cultural mosaic. Toddlers greet friends, count dumplings and act out animal names with puppets, keeping tiny tongues—and brains—nimble for future language learning.
Veggie Patch to Plate
Tiny hands dig, plant and pick in our raised veggie beds, then carry harvest straight to the kitchen for toddler-friendly tastings. From seed to snack, children learn where food comes from, practise fine-motor skills and expand palates with fresh flavours they’ve grown themselves.
