Exploration is the new focus in our under two room.  The kaiako have noticed the children have a real interest in messy play, water play, and experimentation with different textures, materials and ingredients.  Through messy play activities our tamariki learn how to make sense of their world and develop a range of strategies for reasoning and problem solving.  Our younger babies who aren't quite walking yet are all actively trying to develop the skills to crawl, shuffle and move around the room.  Our exploration planning will encourage our younger children to gain confidence in and control over their bodies as we ensure their environment is an inviting, safe, and exciting place to explore.
