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 areand 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 wayslaying 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

We love Little Sprouts Peabody. The teachers and directors really care and our son is so happy going to school each day. We’ve been with Little Sprouts since our kiddo was an infant and it’s not an exaggeration to say it feels like family.

Having Ms Sheila & Ms Vanessa as my Son’s teachers have been a truly enriching experience. Their passion for teaching is evident in the way they engage and motivate the kids. Their dedication, creativity, and commitment to their students' success are truly amazing.

I cannot express enough how amazing everyone is at Little Sprouts Andover. Teachers and admin are caring and ensure my son adjusted well to their schedule being that he was at home full- time. My toddler gets so happy to get ready to go to daycare every morning. Pictures and updates are sent daily through their app. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We have had the best experience at Little Sprouts Concord! Our oldest daughter attended from ~14 weeks old to 4 years old, and our youngest daughter has been attending for the past year. The staff there are absolutely amazing and care for the children as if they're their own. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area!
