Growing Up Green Teenies

The Teenie Room is a welcoming and stimulating environment for our 1-2 year olds. The room is equipped with toys and games which stretch the children’s developing cognitive, imaginative and co-ordinative skills, such as construction, building
and jigsaws.

Lots of opportunities are provided for interaction and group play, as we feel the development of social and relational skills reflects and strengthens personal development. Types of play include table-top games and puzzles, messy play (gluing, painting, water, baking, sculpting), music, movement and more physical games. Literacy and numeracy is introduced gently here through word and number games,
as well as in songs, displays and stories.

The room has a specially designated and well stocked reading corner, a role play area (e.g. market or kitchen) which is regularly changed, and access to a messy play room.

Nappies for children requiring them are provided. We use a recyclable and laundry nappy system.
