Educational Childcare for Baby and Toddlers

Cognitive milestones for children aged 0 to 2 years include several key behaviours. They show interest in new things. They observe their surroundings.

They engage in pretend play. They also match toy shapes to the correct holes. These milestones show how babies and toddlers learn to understand their surroundings. They also help them notice the different things happening around them.

At Oz Education, we help children aged 0-2 grow through our nursery play-based learning program. Our nurturing atmosphere ensures children feel cherished and appreciated.We focus on activities like storytelling, interactive play, and singing. These activities encourage children to explore different materials.

We also help preschoolers recognize sounds, shapes, colours, and their surroundings. These experiences support their important development and help them learn joyfully. These experiences support their important developmental milestones.

Children aged 0-2 years reach important physical milestones. They learn to move their arms and legs smoothly. They explore their hands and fingers. They can pick up small objects. They learn to sit up and learn to grab toys.

Eventually, they take their first steps. These skills show how they grow and develop during this time. 

At Oz Education, we help young children build physical confidence through fun nursery activities. Our curriculum includes sensory play and music movement, all guided by our experienced educators. This creates a safe and supportive environment for kids to improve their physical skills while having a great time. 

Important social and emotional milestones include making eye contact and forming attachments to familiar people. Children also learn to follow others’ gaze. They develop basic teamwork skills, such as asking for help to get a toy.

Infants from 0-2 years old should begin to observe and respond to the emotions and behaviours of individuals in their surroundings. They will also start to understand basic social cues such as waving, grinning, and nodding. 

Our nursery curriculum focuses on helping babies and toddlers develop socially and emotionally through group play in different environments. This helps children learn about themselves and others. We have more than 30 events each year. These events help grow personal awareness as well as broader roles in the community and world.

Babies and toddlers reach important language milestones from 0-2 years old, which helps them develop in the future. These include reacting to surrounding faces through smiles and sounds including babble. They may also begin to point to objects and people using their index finger or hands. By 18 months, your baby should be able to use approximately 5 words to express themselves without help.
At Oz Education, we help your child develop their language skills. We use singing, storytelling, and conversations with our educators. Our centres provide a safe and nurturing nursery environment for babies and toddlers to explore verbal and physical language cues and provide care that is personalised to the unique development of your child.

Creativity is essential in developing young minds, allowing children to express themselves, solve problems, and think in new ways. At Oz Education, we focus on nurturing creativity through playful exploration and engaging activities that support your child’s growth from an early age. From 0-2 years old children are beginning to experience sensory exploration, early expression through movement, and sensory-based play.

During this stage, creativity begins with the senses. Babies and toddlers explore their environment by touching, tasting, seeing, and hearing. At Oz Education, we provide hands-on experiences such as sensory play, music movement, and storytime activities to encourage creativity. By providing a safe, nurturing atmosphere, we help children engage with different materials, sounds, and textures, fostering early imagination. Storytelling sessions with rich, sensory interactions further promote language development and spark curiosity, encouraging them to express themselves through simple gestures, sounds, or actions.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) form the foundation for critical thinking, problem-solving, and understanding the world around us. STEM concepts can begin to develop in infants through curiosity about cause and effect, basic problem-solving, and understanding object permanence. 

We understand that infants are naturally curious, constantly exploring the world through their senses. At Oz Education, we introduce them to simple STEM concepts through sensory-based play and exploration. Activities like stacking blocks, simple puzzles, and playing with toys that involve cause and effect help them understand the relationships between actions and outcomes. Through observation and engagement, babies begin to explore basic problem-solving skills as they notice how objects interact with each other and their surroundings.
