Teddy Bear Bees (1 -2)
Fostering independence & confidence through play.
One – Two
Step into a world where your child will be challenged and stimulated as they find joy in exploring. Curated for 1 – 2-year-olds, The Teddy Bear Bees room encourages your child to walk, move, and touch everything in sight. Here, we begin to focus more on building age-appropriate independence, confidence, and a strong sense of self.
“
“It is essential that the child is allowed to make as many discoveries as they can on their own. If we try to help them with the fulfilment of all daily tasks, we rob the child of all that is vital for independent psychological development. A child, who successfully achieves something through their own independent desire of experiment, acquires a completely different quality of knowledge than one who is simply handed a finished product.”
— Emmi Pikler, Paediatrician
Supporting every child’s eagerness to explore.
Tuning into your child’s learning
Your soon-to-be toddler is quickly becoming a wriggly ball of energy! At this age, we know children are eager to move around and play with a little more independence. We support that with a flexible floor plan allowing for open-ended learning where they can choose what to engage with.
Problem-solving and cognitive development with our magnetic helicopter, musical instruments, chunky puzzles, sound balls, ring stackers, magnetic maze, and more.
Architectural wooden shapes for creativity, construction, and immersive imaginative play, engaging your child in several areas of the curriculum.
Our Emro Rug helps introduce Indigenous culture through authentic story-driven art work. Your child will be memorised with the tones, shapes, and colours as they play on the soft rug.
Art and messy-play to discover textures, fluids, materials, temperatures, and mark-making.
A Pikler Triangle climbing frame to build your child’s physical skills and body awareness.
Our Rocking Crocodile seesaw keeps super active children occupied as they enjoy the back-and-forth momentum.
Helping children
grow their vocabulary.
We love our little chatter-boxes
At this age, a child’s vocabulary is increasing from around 5 – 20 words at 18 months to as many as 150 – 300 words by two years. At Ascolta, your child is immersed in world where they’re continuously spoken to, and encouraged to find their voice as they learn new words. Playing alongside their Educator, they’re building their vocabulary as they explore colours, emotions, textures, shapes, and more. Even the smallest words are celebrated, and songs are a part of their everyday learning.
It’s even better in person.
See for yourself
This is just a taste of what to expect — we’d love to show you and your little one around in person. We’re also always open to feedback, so if you’d like to see something else in the Teddy Bear Bee room, let us know!
