Toddler School Program | Atlanta & Dallas
Choosing the right toddler school is one of the first big decisions many parents make as their child moves from babyhood into a more independent stage of life. You want your child to feel safe, loved, understood, and excited to explore, while knowing they are receiving quality care and meaningful early education throughout the day. At Parker-Chase Preschool, our toddler school program offers young children a warm, engaging place to learn, play, and grow through hands-on experiences that support language, social, emotional, and physical development. In our nurturing classrooms, your little one is encouraged to build confidence, form relationships, and take important first steps toward preschool readiness with caring teachers by their side.

Is Potty Training Required?
No. Our toddler school supports families through this process with patience, encouragement, and clear communication, because we know every child reaches this milestone in their own time and in their own way.
Curriculum Focus
Our curriculum focuses on language development, social skills, emotional growth, and physical activities within a developmentally appropriate learning environment. Parker-Chase uses a hands-on, project-based, whole-child approach that blends self-directed and teacher-guided experiences, helping young children build skills through play, movement, exploration, and meaningful interactions. Research on playful learning and early developmental environments shows that children build language, social understanding, problem-solving, and early executive function skills through warm relationships and active learning experiences.
Daily Routine
Each day in our toddler school follows a thoughtful plan that balances comfort, structure, and discovery. Children move through circle time, sensory play, outdoor activities, meals, rest time, creative exploration, and small group experiences that help them build relationships, practice new skills, and enjoy learning in ways that feel engaging rather than overwhelming. These daily routines provide the consistency young children need while also making room for curiosity, movement, and joyful play.
Classroom Experience
Our toddler classrooms are designed for active young children who are eager to explore but still need close support and reassurance. Small-group activities and low staff-to-child ratios allow each teacher to know every child well, respond to individual needs, and provide personalized care that helps toddlers feel secure as they build independence. At Parker-Chase, your little one receives both the comfort of strong relationships and the encouragement to grow in new ways every day.
About Our Toddler Program
At Parker-Chase Preschool, we understand that the toddler years are full of big feelings, fast growth, and exciting new milestones. Our toddler school program is built to support young children as they begin using language in new ways, testing independence, building social relationships, and discovering how the world works through movement and play. Parker-Chase follows a developmental approach that recognizes each child’s abilities, interests, and pace, so children are challenged in ways that feel encouraging, never too much, and always supportive. Research shows that high-quality early education and responsive care during these early years can strengthen later school readiness, social-emotional development, and long-term learning outcomes, which is why our program is designed to help your child thrive now while building a strong start for the future.
From 18 Months to 3 Years: Development Support for Every Stage
Our toddler school program focuses on the whole child during a stage when growth happens in so many ways at once. Through a responsive curriculum, experienced educators support young children as they build language, confidence, coordination, friendships, and a growing sense of self. These early years are a critical time, and our program is designed to help your child take each new step with support, joy, and a strong foundation for what comes next.
- Individualized Learning and Development Support – Every toddler develops at their own pace, and our teachers take the time to observe each child’s interests, needs, and readiness. This personalized approach helps young children receive support that matches their developmental level, while giving them access to activities that build confidence, curiosity, and early learning skills.
- Language Development and Communication Skills – During the toddler year, children make significant strides in language, and our teachers help them put words to feelings, needs, questions, and experiences throughout the day. Through songs, stories, conversation, group time, and play-based interactions, children build vocabulary and communication skills that support stronger relationships and future learning.
- Hands-On Play and Sensory Exploration – Toddlers learn best when they can touch, move, experiment, and explore with their whole bodies. In our classrooms, sensory activities, creative materials, dramatic play, and project-based learning experiences help children make sense of the world while building problem-solving, attention, and social skills.
- Social and Emotional Growth – Our toddler school helps children learn how to be part of a group while still honoring their growing independence. Teachers guide children as they practice taking turns, expressing emotions, forming friendships, and building trust with others in a safe environment.
- Physical Development and Purposeful Movement – Toddlers need plenty of opportunities to move, climb, balance, explore, and use their growing bodies with confidence. Our program includes outdoor play, active learning, and physical activities that help young children build coordination, gross motor skills, and body awareness.
