The Toddler Classroom

Learning experiences that tap into your child’s boundless curiosity.

Every day full of action, fun and purposeful play helps toddlers at Primrose schools develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. Your toddler is constantly on the move, exploring and learning at every turn, so teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.

Active Minds

Learning is play, and play is learning. That’s why our Balanced Learning® approach combines purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to tap into your toddler’s endless curiosity.
  • Language & Literacy
    Language & Literacy

    Your toddler’s oral language is growing exponentially! They’re beginning to understand the back-and-forth of conversation, recognize voices and have fun with sounds and words. Developing language and literacy skills sets the stage for a lifetime of learning.

  • Science, Engineering and Technology
    Science, Engineering and Technology

    Young children are born with curiosity and the ability to use their senses to explore how the world works and discover their role in it. Toddler classrooms are full of developmentally appropriate toys, and teachers help extend this learning by engaging your child in new experiences.

  • Mathematics
    Mathematics

    Your toddler is forming mathematical concepts long before they’re solving equations. As they explore puzzles, blocks and fun objects like counting bears, they learn about counting, geometry, problem solving and more!

  • Social Studies
    Social Studies

    Your child learns kindness and generosity by practicing sharing and caring for friends. Your toddler also develops an understanding of different people and places as well as how to interact kindly and respectfully with others.

Healthy Bodies

Developing healthy habits takes time and consistency. For toddlers, playtime is especially important as it helps them develop foundational skills like coordination and balance through jumping, kicking, throwing and rolling.
  • Thumbs Up!: Physical Development
    Thumbs Up!: Physical Development

    Your toddler is naturally active, and active children are more likely to become active adults. In our Toddler program, you’ll find carefully selected equipment and toys that our newest walkers love to climb on, crawl through and play with while honing their gross and fine motor skills.

  • Health and Safety
    Health and Safety

    Health and safety has always been our top priority. Each Primrose school maintains high standards of safety and cleanliness while creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

  • Balanced Menus: Nutrition
    Balanced Menus: Nutrition

    Teachers use sign language to encourage toddlers to express their food needs and preferences as well as communicate when they are finished eating. The tasty and nutritious food they enjoy is cut into small pieces, and the teachers talk about the food items being eaten.

Happy Hearts

We believe the foundation children develop in the first five years of life sets the stage for who they become as adults. That’s why we partner with parents to foster the development of character in children early on.
  • Happy Hearts Character Development Program®
    Happy Hearts Character Development Program®

    Our Happy Hearts Character Development Program helps teach the importance of values like compassion, friendship and respect in school, at home and in the community.

  • Harmony & Heart: Music, Movement & Literature
    Harmony & Heart: Music, Movement & Literature

    Through our unique Harmony & Heart® program, teachers use music, movement and children’s books to help your child learn important skills as they become a more dynamic thinker, better listener and kinder person.

  • Life & Social Skills
    Life & Social Skills

    For children to show kindness, compassion and respect to others, they need to feel it themselves. That’s why Primrose school teachers strive to make each child feel valued and included by using books and collaborative activities that foster a sense of belongingness in their classrooms.

  • Early Art Masters: Creative Arts and Expression
    Early Art Masters: Creative Arts and Expression

    Visual and creative arts stimulate your child’s imagination and critical-thinking skills, which will enhance other areas of learning and development. Your toddler will listen and move to music, explore the arts and express themselves creatively.

Wonder Time: Personalized Care & Instruction

Teachers pay close attention to all aspects of your child’s development as they introduce and reinforce concepts in ways that tap into natural learning processes. We call this Wonder Time. Wonder Time is based on sensory experiences like seeing, touching, hearing and smelling, and every learning experience is purposeful and personalized.

See What Families Are Saying

Ever since we enrolled our little girl in the toddlers program at Primrose 2 years ago, I've been continually struck by the warm and welcoming environment of the school. Our daughter can't wait to go to school each morning. She loves story time, circle time, and of course the outdoor play. The best part is getting hourly updates and pictures of her activities. The "happy grams" about her small achievements make us smile and make our day. The dedicated teachers encourage her to grow and learn new things everyday. All the staff members are wonderful, supportive, and understand the best ways to help us. You all are amazing! Thanks for everything!
We absolutely love Primrose! The teachers are so welcoming and enthusiastic. They provide structure for the kids to make learning fun. I like being able to have the Procare app so I can talk to our toddler about her day. It is such a blessing to know my child is so well taken care of while I am at work. Her teacher goes above and beyond and my daughter really loves her. I have nothing but good things to say about this school and all the staff!
