Active Explorers Toddlers ( 1-3 )

Our play-based learning program encourages your toddler’s natural curiosity, language skills, problem-solving, imagination and creativity.

Growing together

Each day, through active play and carefully planned activities, your toddler explores, safely discovers their boundaries and expands their social, emotional and cognitive skills. 

We recognise your toddler’s individuality and increasing sense of independence. That’s why we design our rooms and programs to support your toddler’s development, and our trained educators create engaging and enriching learning experiences with your child.

A day in the life

From learning how to solve problems—to discovering books, stories, and words and creatively expressing themselves through activities like painting, singing, and dancing—experience the joy as your child becomes more independent, adventurous, and confident during these wonderful years.

We understand that every family has their own schedule, and we update you throughout the day on our Kool Konnect app.
