Each child’s ability to develop in all areas is supported by nurturing relationships and a safe environment. Our nursery program recognises individual differences and ensures that milestones and daycare goals for babies less than two years are tailored to what is appropriate and best suited for each child.

For babies, every day at Little Kingdom Child Care brings new and exciting developments

In our nursery, we support the development of each baby through a holistic approach that considers each child’s individual needs. We believe in building a foundation of strong social and emotional abilities through responsive, nurturing and positive experiences.

Social and emotional development for babies

Our nurturing and experienced educators support babies in all aspects of their social and emotional development, starting with forming good relationships. We create supportive and loving relationships that provide babies with a sense of security and confidence.

By providing babies with continued safety and security, we help them develop confidence and a sense of self. From reactions to responsiveness to attention spans, our daycare goals for 0-2-year-old babies, from 0–6 months, 6–12 months and 12–24 months, deliberately encourage children’s efforts to communicate their emotions, both verbally and non-verbally.

Cognitive development for babies

At Little Kingdom, we create a space where babies can grow their cognitive skills and abilities. We focus on engaging young children in meaningful and interactive play to encourage their cognitive development. Through play, we help your baby develop skills that include lateral thinking, understanding, remembering and imagining. All our educators are compassionate, supportive and committed to ensuring your child’s happiness and development. They are highly qualified in the field, with years of experience and a deep commitment to working with young children.

Speech and language development for babies

We are aware that babies greatly benefit from effective communication, as it is essential in developing their social skills. We also know that language and speech develop quickly in the first two years of a child’s life, and we support this development in various ways.

At Little Kingdom, babies are supported, encouraged and provided with regular opportunities to express themselves and communicate with their educators and friends.

Our childcare goals for infants and two-year-old babies are supported by effective and age-appropriate communication. We listen and communicate with the babies in ways that make them feel important and cherished. Such childcare activities for babies include reading aloud, giving simple, fun instructions and developing specific play routines.

Physical development for babies

Our caring educators and engaging environments support your baby’s physical development. We give your child a nurturing and safe space that allows them to explore their environment and challenge their physical abilities. Through our educators’ support, children learn to develop their sense of health and physical well-being as they refine their complex sensory-motor skills and movement patterns. In our day care for infants, babies and toddlers can interact with their natural surroundings, explore and express who they truly are while being cared for in a safe, loving and nurturing environment.

A holistic approach to education for babies

Our holistic approach ensures that we provide comprehensive care and a nurturing environment that includes a broad range of meaningful experiences and educational activities for babies in childcare, reaching beyond academic learning into all areas of your child’s social and emotional wellbeing. Here are just some of the practices we implement to support your child’s development.

Tummy Time

We promote time spent playing with babies while they are on their tummies. This strengthens important muscles and promotes a range of development.

Music and Expression

Music combines cognitive, physical social and emotional learning that supports a holistic approach to education. It allows babies to begin expressing themselves in a fun and interactive way.

Story Time

Books and stories help spark curiosity in young children, and we use them often to support your baby’s speech, language and early literacy skills.

Nurturing Relationships

Nurturing relationships give babies a sense of security, encouragement and confidence. They teach them to form meaningful friendships, regulate their emotions and deal with challenges.

Dedicated Resources

We offer a range of infant and baby-specific resources that spark curiosity and aid in the healthy development of babies.

Songs and Rhymes

Songs and rhymes are a fun and interactive way to encourage a range of skills and support babies as they get to know sounds and words.

Creative Expression

Art is the perfect hands-on way to explore a range of colours, textured and materials and promote creative expression.

Sensory Play

Sensory play supports various aspects of development as babies engage their senses and begin to make sense of the world around them.

Getting Outside

Connecting children from an early age to their natural world plays a vital role in encouraging a variety of development as they learn to respect and care for their environment.

The importance of early childhood education

Introducing foundational learning into the early stages of your child’s life can equip them with the intellectual building blocks for better cognitive development when they reach preschool and primary school. Between the ages of zero to two, your child is rapidly taking in information about the world around them.
