Toddler Community
For children ages 18 months to 2.5 years
(ages vary by location)
A Pearlite toddler community is designed for the boundless energy and intense need for independence that are the signature features of toddlerhood.
Rather than distracting toddlers from the real-world activities they're most interested in and telling them they can't, we provide every child with the intentional classroom environment, the tools, and the freedom they need so that they can.
We give them the chance to actively build self-control and feel their own importance and value in caring for themselves and others.
What to Expect in Our Toddler Community
Practical Life Skills
Children learn to care for themselves and their environment through activities like pouring, washing, dressing, and food preparation.
Language Development
Rich vocabulary building through conversations, songs, books, and naming activities that expand communication skills.
Sensorial Exploration
Hands-on materials that refine the senses and help children understand and categorize their experiences.

Opportunities for both gross and fine motor development through purposeful activities and outdoor exploration.

Building self-reliance through child-sized tools and furniture that allow toddlers to do real work independently.
