Our Toddler Classroom

An action-packed day full of fun and purposeful play helps toddlers develop Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®. We know 1-year-olds are constantly on the move, exploring and learning through play at every turn. Primrose teachers use that energy and enthusiasm to foster cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills through engaging games and activities.

Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts

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 grows exponentially between 1 and 2 years of age! During this time, your child begins to understand the back-and-forth nature of conversation and recognizes voices, sounds and the playfulness of language. Developing language and literacy skills sets the stage for a lifetime of learning. 

  • Science, Technology & Engineering
    Science, Technology & Engineering

    Young children are born with curiosity and the ability to use their senses to explore how the world works and to 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 learning numbers. They’re recognizing spatial relationships like over and under and they’re understanding simple ways to classify objects, like by size. The toddler classroom is full of developmentally appropriate toys, and teachers help extend this learning by encouraging your child to try new experiences.

  • Social Studies
    Social Studies

    Your toddler is learning about the people in their immediate surroundings and how to interact kindly and respectfully with others. Teachers help your child learn about others through books, images and scenarios with the Primrose Friends puppets.

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. The Balanced Learning® curriculum provides your child with many opportunities each day to enhance their fine motor and large motor skills through a variety of individual and small group activities. 

  • Health & Safety 
  • 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.
  • Character Development & Life Skills
    Character Development & Life Skills

    We believe who children become is as important as what they know. That’s why toddler teachers use books, music, activities and more to help your child understand concepts like sharing, kindness and generosity.

  • Social Skills
    Social Skills

    For children to show kindness and compassion 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 activities that foster a sense of belongingness in their classrooms.

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

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