WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?
Naturally inclusive communication
Toddlers are encouraged to use signs to communicate their needs and feelings, and speak when they feel ready. From the very first class, everyone can participate, ensuring that no little learner is left behind.
Wonderfully simple teaching
Logically arranged materials require very little planning and easily adapt to any teaching situation or schedule. Educators at any English level can confidently deliver engaging lessons straight from the Student’s Book pages.
Joyfully inquisitive learning
Age-appropriate inquiry-based activities spark natural curiosity as toddlers begin to explore the world around them through beautifully illustrated stories, engaging games, and hands-on activities.
Creatively developing minds
Fine motor coordination is developed through arts & crafts activities and mini-projects that combine creativity with learning. Toddlers develop essential physical skills, while building the foundations for preschool.
Global Skills Development
Mini Makers nurtures emotional intelligence, relationship building, and classroom participation skills that help toddlers begin to understand themselves and learn about coexisting with others in a diverse world.
