Wallabies Room

3 to 4 years - Transition Room

Our Wallabies room is designed to support a transition period for children moving up from the Koala room. We use this time to monitor and evaluate your child’s progress whilst providing a supportive and caring environment.  We try to move children up with their friends from the Koala room to the Wallabies' room to make for a smoother transition before they move into the Dugongs' room

Development stages:

Physical Development: Children in this age group are refining their fine and gross motor skills. They are learning to walk, run and climb while improving hand-eye coordination through activities like drawing and stacking.

Cognitive Development: Their cognitive abilities are rapidly growing. They are becoming more curious and interested in their surroundings. Simple problem-solving, language development and memory skills are emerging.

Social and Emotional Development: This age is marked by growing independence and social interactions. Children begin to show empathy and develop attachments to caregivers.  They may experience separation anxiety, which is a normal part of development.

Language Development: Vocabulary expands quickly. They start using basic sentences, follow simple instructions and engage in conversations with others.

Creativity and Play: Play is a vital aspect of their development. They explore the world through imaginative and pretend play, enhancing creativity and problem-solving skills .
