Toddler Program
Our childcare teachers work with your child to explore and manipulate toys, books and sensory materials, which helps them to develop their curiosity, creativity, and independence. Music and outdoor play are integral parts of the program.
Planned educational activities and play are used in the toddler program to:
- promote language development
- build gross motor, fine motor and self-help skills
- encourage cooperation
- enable creative expression
For more information on fees, see our Fees page.
Food
Children in the Toddler Program are offered a morning snack, lunch (with milk) and afternoon snack that are prepared at the centre by our certified cook. Water is also provided throughout the day.
SMCC is able to accommodate all sorts of food allergies and restrictions.

Daily Updates
We use the Lillio (previously HiMama) app to provide parents with photos and updates to show the fun that their child is having during the day. We are also able to provide you with information about meals, toileting and nap length.
We care about your child’s progress – at least once a year or when requested, your child’s teacher(s) will provide you with an individualized report card. The teacher will offer insight on your child’s development and progress in the Toddler Program.
