The Toddler Classroom

Toddler care at our schools blends hands-on discovery with guided learning, inspiring little ones to explore themselves, their relationships, and the world in joyful, meaningful ways.

The toddler years are a time of incredible growth and discovery. At this age, children begin to assert independence, explore the world around them, and develop key skills. Toddlers are learning to communicate more effectively, form relationships, and navigate new physical and cognitive challenges. At Little Sprouts, our toddler program is specifically designed to support this critical (and busy!) stage of development, providing an environment where curiosity is encouraged, movement is celebrated, and social skills are nurtured.

Confident movers & curious thinkers

Toddlers learn best by doing—and they’re always on the move! Our program is designed to nurture both their growing minds and their developing bodies through hands-on experiences, interactive play, and plenty of room to explore. Whether they’re stacking blocks, drawing with crayons, running, or climbing, toddlers are constantly building important cognitive and physical skills.

We support critical thinking and imagination through creative play, problem-solving, and sensory exploration. At the same time, we encourage gross motor development with safe spaces for jumping, balancing, and active movement, while refining fine motor skills with engaging tools and materials. It all adds to greater independence, growing confidence, and joyful learning every step of the way.

Independent minds, growing hearts

Your toddler is discovering who they are—and we’re here to support every step of that journey. Our program is designed to nurture independence, spark curiosity, and build strong social-emotional foundations. As toddlers learn to navigate their feelings, express themselves, and interact with others, we create a supportive environment that encourages empathy, cooperation, and confidence.

Language development is in full bloom at this stage, and we embrace it through rich storytelling, songs, books, and meaningful conversations. Our literacy-rich classrooms help toddlers grow their vocabulary, strengthen communication skills, and begin to express big ideas in little words.

We also offer endless opportunities for exploration and creativity. Sensory play, art, building, and nature-based experiences allow children to engage with the world in hands-on, imaginative ways—laying the groundwork for critical thinking and joyful discovery. Through our thoughtful curriculum and daily experiences, your toddler is developing the tools to be a kind, curious, and confident learner.

They're great! My little one enjoys going there everyday! The staff is friendly and made the transition comfortable for the both of us

Little Sprouts South End has been a dream come true for our family. Every single teacher (even those in other class rooms!) expresses such enthusiasm each time they see my daughter and she lights up at each exchange. My daughter has grown from infant to toddler in the caring hands of our LS family and it has been so joyful to see how happy she is to get to school each day. We could not be any happier with every single member of this facility!

All 3 of my children attend Little Sprouts. As a parent, I am very grateful for all of the teachers, staff, and the director for the wellbeing, learning curriculum, and positive environment they create for the children. I am confident that my kids are in good hands when I drop them off every morning.
