Toddler

Under 2's

  • Children in this phase are full of energy and need careful support. They walk, they talk, and they begin to develop relationships with each other.

    Toddlers learn through sensory experiences that enhance their cognitive, language, motor and social skills. They turn ideas into words and words into phrases – to support this, we encourage looking at picture books and listening to stories. At this stage they are guided to better express themselves, and practice sharing. They are also learning about boundaries and how to handle frustration and cooperate through group play. Children at this stage start to develop friendships and gain confidence as they use their words and thoughts to interact with others.

    • In just a short span of my darling daughter’s journey at BBN, we are really truly happy of all her milestones and how far her development goes – academically, socially, etc. Highly recommend this nursery!

    • I really want to thank everyone in the nursery especially Ms. Anam, who give Raphy very good care and helped him develop so much. Thanks for everything you all did for Raphy!

    • …please count Thomas for another week of fun summer camp! Ms. Dinah has done a magic, and Tom seems to have settled in very well. Building blocks never fails my expectation! Hats off to you guys!
