The Wallabies: 2-3 Years

The Wallabies: 2-3 Years

Now children are in a bigger and more challenging world and their curiosity is at an all-time high. Our room is bright and spacious, allowing children to explore boundaries, while developing their confidence, self-image and independence.

Social and Emotional Development

• This is the age that Wallaroos start learning about relationships.
• They may play with each other for short periods of time, but cannot share.
• They often copy what adults do e.g. dressing up.

Physical Development

• Wallaroos become more confident with their physical abilities.
• They love to run and climb and test the limits, so bumps and falls are common.
• Children at this age can climb up and down stairs, kick a ball, jump, and get undressed.

      Developing Understanding

• Wallaroos try to understand how the world works.
• Simple explanations to their questions can help.
• 2-3 year olds will enjoy some make believe play.

Language Development

• At 2 children can start naming simple things and follow simple instructions.
• By 3, the Wallaroos can start saying short sentences and learn to follow more complex instructions.
