A strong foundation for a stronger future
The first 1,000 days from birth to age two are critical for brain development. At Kangaroo Kids, we believe in starting early to build a strong foundation for your child’s future learning and growth, with thoughtfully designed programmes for toddlers.
The Toddler Programme invites you and your child to come together and engage in activities that deepen your bond while activating your child’s brain. Every session is a blend of play, exploration, and learning that sparks curiosity while helping your child build connections with the world at large.
The Toddler Transition Programme seamlessly prepares little learners for the next phase of their learning journey, offering them an opportunity to explore the world and develop essential skills in a stimulating learning environment.

What sets the Parent-Toddler
Programme apart?
The First 1,000
Days Matter
The first two years are vital for brain development. We enable parent-toddler connection through play in a science-backed setting that builds lifelong skills.
Molecular Brain
Process
Positive early interactions, such as bonding and sensory experiences, play a significant role in shaping brain processes and are key to a toddler's cognitive and emotional growth. We emphasise these interactions to enable future development.
Inquiry-Based Learning
We nurture each child’s potential through inquiry-based learning, focusing on their strengths and capabilities. Our approach highlights what children can do, rather than what they cannot. This method encourages exploration, questioning, and self-discovery, fostering the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Competence-Based
Learning Approach
Our competence-based curriculum develops the attitudes, knowledge and skills to succeed. iCan learning statements clearly articulate the skills children can acquire, creating a positive, growth-oriented environment that empowers learners to take ownership of their educational journey
Fluidic Learning
Methodology
Our adaptive learning methodology combines digital and physical spaces, enabling learners to learn at their own pace with the optimal tools for the given situation. This enables seamless transitions between classroom and online learning.
A curriculum built on the latest research in neuroscience and child development
At Kangaroo Kids, we take an innovative approach to early childhood education. Our programmes are designed to create a lasting, positive impact on toddlers’ success, both in school and as lifelong learners. By building future-ready skills, promoting self-directed learning, and utilizing a competence-based model, we equip children for success in a rapidly changing world—empowering them to achieve their dreams.

At Kangaroo Kids, safety is our top priority. Each classroom is equipped with age-appropriate furniture, toys, and materials, ensuring a secure and stimulating environment. We maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio to provide personalized attention and close monitoring of activities. This allows for individualized learning experiences and high-quality care. Additionally, all of our staff members are trained in child safety protocols and first aid, ensuring the well-being of every child in our care.

All activities are designed to be fun and developmentally appropriate, focusing on fostering creativity and learning through experience.

Our Toddler Transition Programme includes activities and learning experiences that gradually prepare children for the next stage of education. This includes developing independence, following instructions and socialising with peers – helping them transition smoothly into a preschool setting.

Parents are generally asked to bring a change of clothes, diapers or pull-ups (if needed), a water bottle and any personal comfort items (like a favourite blanket or toy). We’ll provide other materials and supplies.

Extended Learning and Real-World Experiences
We believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we integrate Extended Learning, Real-World Learning, and International Days into our curriculum. These experiences are connected to each theme, providing learners with hands-on opportunities to explore and engage with real-world challenges. This approach not only builds their knowledge but also enriches their vocabulary and practical understanding.
