The Big Umbrella

Developing the right thinking skills at The Big Umbrella will set your toddler up for a lifetime of learning. We recognise that each child develops differently but every child benefits from being given learning opportunities that are stimulating. The wider the base of associations now, the deeper the knowledge base in our future geniuses.

At The Big Umbrella family, we put the child first and all our processes adapt around nurturing your child's innate richness. Our teachers develop loving relationships with the children so that the process of discovery is filled with a sense of harmony towards the self and the world.

As a child transitions from imitative to imaginative play, he/she is learning how the world works, where he/she fits into it, and is also developing a limitless ability to expand it.

At The Big Umbrella we guide our toddlers towards imaginative development knowing fully well that these are stepping stones for them to be more creative, have a richer vocabulary, develop greater self-control, and emerge as leaders among peers in time.

Whoever heard of a toddler sitting still? Our classrooms and play areas are interactive and ever changing to accommodate the toddler's need for experiential activities. At The Big Umbrella, we see activity as the foundation for toddlers' interactions with the world: from creative field trips to group play sessions; our toddlers are always on the go and expanding what they know.
