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.
Ages 15 months to 2.9 years
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.

Hear from our families
Little Sprouts South End is fantastic! The teachers are amazing, hands on and help make sure kids are learning. I love the school not just for its great academic approach but the administration is wonderful, facilities are clean and kids look forward to going to school
We love Little Sprouts! Our son has been there since 3+ months and has grown there emotionally and intellectually. The teachers are warm and wonderful and we treasure the community we've built there. Our son will age out of the school next year and we're already sad about it. I don't think anything will compare!
We love ms Jamie! She is the best. My daughter really took to her and they have a great bond. She has taught my toddler so much and we will always consider her part of our family!!
My child has enjoyed her time at Little Sprouts and has learned a lot with her friends. I am especially excited to have a new music program. All of the teachers gave been very caring and kind.
Our 2 year old has been going to Little Spouts since he was 5 months old and we couldn't be happier! His teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Jess are amazing! We feel so grateful to have teachers who are so kind and engaging. I'm so impressed by the range of activity they plan - everything from art, to music, science projects, and dramatic play. Our son has learned so much from school and we have been so happy with the Little Sprouts team!
