The year language takes off and the first real friendships begin.
INSIDE THE ROOM
Finding their independence
Wombat’s Room is a busy, hands-on space built for two- and three-year-olds who are finding their independence.
Open-ended resources, safe climbing and movement areas and inviting play zones encourage children to explore, experiment and make sense of the world around them.
Educators provide responsive guidance and nurturing support as children build language, social connections and self-help abilities. Daily experiences promote active play, problem solving and emotional development, while consistent routines and a secure environment help each child feel confident, capable and supported as they learn and grow.
