Toddlers 18-36 months
18 month - 36 months month old

At Little Rascals we focus on the transition from infant to toddler by introducing a curriculum developmentally appropriate for this age.

The children will engage in circle time, songs, stories and hands on activities.

The teachers follow your child’s lead and respond to their individual interests in stories, songs and play to help them grow and learn with confidence.

We cover all the developmental areas, providing your child with daily activities specifically focusing on developing emotional, physical, social, language and other areas of development.
