A conscious, holistic approach to early childhood education

At Toddler's Den, our team of educators, researchers, and designers has defined our own child-centred approach to preschool education. Our goal is to enable learners to construct their own meaning, to have a strong sense of identity, and to be creative, resilient, and inquiry driven citizens.

As part of our program, children are given the tools and support to steer through their own distinct paths of discovery. Our pedagogical philosophy is inspired by international best practices in early years education.

Whole child development through play-based inquiry

Our inquiry-based approach encourages children to be active participants in the learning process and to develop the skills needed to explore their ideas, interests, and questions in a meaningful way.

Empowering teachers to make a difference

Teachers at Toddler’s Den wear many hats. They are designers, facilitators, role models, and most importantly, loving and nurturing individuals. They encourage child initiated activity and challenge and provoke ideas through open-ended questioning.

Creating an enabling environment

Our learning spaces are set up in a provocative manner so as to engage all senses. We design our preschools with only one aspiration - they should be magical places that children love coming back to everyday.
