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
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.
Our experience with Little Sprouts Hingham has been nothing short of amazing. As first time parents we were so nervous about leaving our baby girl but from the start we’ve felt so comfortable knowing that she’s in such great hands. We are so thankful for our baby girl’s amazing teachers, Miss Becky and Miss Julianne - thank you for taking such great care of Scarlett! We love seeing pictures of her day and how happy she looks.
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.
We loved our experience with Little Sprouts in Peabody!
My daughter learned so much within a few weeks of enrolling & was always so happy to be there.
The staff was always welcoming and communicative. The teachers do a lot of fun activities with the kids, and daily updates/pictures were sent to me, which was extremely reassuring for a new mom like myself.
I recommend LS 100%!
My kids have been apart of the little sprouts family for the past 3 years & it has been a great experience for both me & my children.
The teachers go above & beyond & are very empathetic to the children & their learning experience! I couldn’t be more proud of my little one’s progress thus far
