Muddi Room

Muddi is a Dharug aboriginal word meaning ‘young’

The Room

 

 

Our Muddi room caters for 16 toddlers between 2 years and 3 years. 

 

Three committed educators create a space where children can learn self help skills such as toilet training and feeding themselves. 

 

Social relationships and developing friendships is also a special focus for this room.

 

With their own room and yard the toddlers are able to fully explore their environment.
