What We Teach
Learn from the Start Curriculum
Learn from the Start is an educational program that addresses the developmental needs of infants, toddlers, and twos. Children learn skills and concepts in sequence at their own unique pace. This program lets you meet your children where they are along their developmental path.

Observe your children's learning throughout the day as they:
- Work with toys and classroom materials
- Interact with one another, with you, and with other adults
- Respond to the language you model and use
- Engage in the experiences you plan
- Eat, walk, run, play, climb, dump, pour, learn and enjoy just being a child
Learn from the Start gives teachers the tools to:
- Know their children through accurate observation and assessment
- Plan experiences and activities connected to milestones their children are ready to learn using the “grab & go” experience cards
- Design an enriching and engaging classroom environment for their children
- Create an emotionally safe and happy classroom through making lasting connections with their children
Child Development
Milestones We Nurture in Toddlers
We track every child's journey through a set of core developmental milestones — and celebrate every step forward, big or small.
Approaches to Learning
Tracks a child's natural curiosity, engagement, and initiative. It focuses on how toddlers explore their surroundings independently, stay engaged in play, imitate adult behaviors, and build persistence when practicing new tasks or seeking help.
Cognitive Development
Highlights problem-solving skills, cause-and-effect understanding, and mental reasoning. Key behaviors include solving simple spatial tasks, organizing and sorting objects, understanding simple routines, and making connections like matching sounds to images.
Language & Communication Development
Focuses on receptive and expressive language growth. It captures how children express needs and feelings using basic vocabulary and short sentences, engage in early conversations, and build early literacy skills through books and story time.
Language & Communication Development (Early Writing)
Concentrates on the preliminary mechanics of written expression. Children show progress by using various mark-making tools, making purposeful scribbles, drawing basic lines, and understanding that written marks represent thoughts and words.
Physical Development & Health (Gross Motor)
Focuses on large-muscle coordination, movement, and spatial awareness. Key milestones include walking independently, running, climbing stairs, pushing/pulling items, and adjusting movement to music or environmental obstacles.
Physical Development & Health (Fine Motor & Self-Help)
Measures small-muscle control and self-care skills. This covers hand-eye coordination (stacking, stringing beads, page-turning) as well as emerging personal independence in dressing, handwashing, and self-feeding.
Social-Emotional Development
Addresses self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships. It covers recognizing oneself and one's belongings, showing empathy, seeking adult comfort, following simple rules, and practicing basic peer interactions like sharing, taking turns, and setting personal boundaries.
Milestone-led learning
Every activity in our Toddlers programme is mapped to developmental milestones — so you always know exactly where your child is growing and thriving.
