Growth through exploration

At this age your toddler is starting to form connections based on how they can manipulate and influence their world through mental actions, not just through physical interactions. Mental actions include thinking, learning, and problem solving.

Your child's brain is also beginning to understand that other people can have a different perspective to them. Learning what empathy is as they start forming close friendships in child care Adelaide. Brain development at this age must support healthy social-emotional connections and self-regulation, which positively sets your child up academically for the preschool years and beyond.

Here’s what a day looks like!

Toddlers are experiencing their first taste of independence and choice making. A day at Emali is structured to support Toddlers as they explore and expand on their new skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Hear from our wonderful families.

“Emali is a parent and child-friendly centre with well-maintained facilities and a welcoming atmosphere. The educators are knowledgeable, caring, and take the time to connect with each child individually. I especially appreciate the timely updates through the app, which help us stay informed and reassured throughout the day. My 1-year-old daughter is really enjoying her time there, and we’re grateful for the wonderful care she receives. Thank you, Emali!”

Chloe K, Emali Prospect Parent

We have been sending both of our girls to Emali since they were just 8 months old, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. All of the educators here are truly exceptional. They know our girls so well and always go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and thriving. Also, the food provided is top-notch, and the timings are perfect for the kids. We trust them completely with our girls' care, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. I highly recommend Emali to any parents looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones.

Subodh K, Emali Brighton Parent

My child has been attending Emali Salisbury for 2 years now. During this time they have grown in to a confident, happy and well rounded little person. The team at Emali genuinely care about each child as an individual and it really feels like an extension of our family. The excitement my child shows when we arrive for the day makes me so happy and allows me to feel confident leaving them in their care. I highly recommend this centre for anyone looking for care for their little family members.
