Little Beginnings Maryville

Welcome to our Discoverers Room! 💚

For children aged 15 to 24 months, our Discoverers Room is a nurturing and engaging space where little personalities shine. We support toddlers through this exciting stage with play-based learning, sensory experiences, meaningful interactions, and plenty of opportunities to explore, move, and grow.
Our educators create a calm and welcoming environment that encourages confidence, independence, early communication, and social development, all while supporting each child’s individual interests and needs.

In our Explorers Room, the children engaged in a colourful sensory play experience using rainbow rice and a variety of scooping and pouring tools. This hands-on activity encouraged the children to explore different textures, colours and movements in a meaningful and age-appropriate way. As they filled cups, used scoops and moved the rice through their hands, they were building on important skills such as fine motor development, hand-eye coordination and early problem solving.
Sensory experiences like this also provide wonderful opportunities for children to develop confidence, curiosity and independence as they explore at their own pace. Throughout the experience, the children were also engaging alongside their peers, supporting early social development through shared play, observation and interaction. In the Explorers Room, we value creating calm, nurturing and engaging environments that invite our youngest learners to discover the world around them through play. 🌈✨

Meet our Nursery Educators 🌿

They are a passionate and dedicated team who work collaboratively to create a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for our youngest learners. With a wealth of knowledge and experience between them, they understand the importance of building strong, trusting relationships with each child and their family. Through gentle guidance, responsive care, and meaningful interactions, our educators support each child’s individual development, ensuring they feel secure, valued, and confident as they begin their learning journey. ✨

Welcome to our Explorers Room!

Our Explorers Room is a nurturing nursery environment for children aged 6 weeks to 15 months. In this space, our youngest learners are supported to feel safe, secure, and confident as they begin exploring the world around them. Our educators follow the Circle of Security approach, building strong, trusting relationships with each child so they feel supported while they explore and reassured when they need comfort.

Through warm, responsive care, meaningful interactions, and sensory-rich play experiences, we encourage each child’s development at their own pace. We focus on creating a calm, loving environment where babies can build secure attachments, develop early communication skills, and begin their learning journey with confidence. 💚
