Ages 15 months – 2.9 years
A Joyful Beginning
The Hancock Nursery School Toddler Program invites our youngest learners to take a gentle step into a play-based world that feels safe, warm and familiar.. Here, toddlers are free to explore with curiosity, build confidence, and take joy in discovering the world around them.
Earliest Learning Experience
Rooted in our belief that children are natural, capable learners, our toddler classroom is thoughtfully designed to encourage independence, spark self-expression, and gently support early social and emotional growth. Our caring teachers form close, responsive relationships with each child and family, creating a secure and loving environment where toddlers feel seen, heard, and cherished.
Program DetailsNew For Spring 2026
Our school is truly a home-away-from-home—a nurturing, family-like community where children are loved for exactly who they are and encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive.
We are delighted to welcome our very first toddler class in Spring 2026, offering 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day part-time options. Full-day options will be available beginning in the fall to best support the needs of families.
Welcome to the
Toddler Room
Each day is filled with hands-on, process-oriented play, movement, sensory exploration, music, art, and outdoor adventures that honor how young children learn best. Through these playful experiences, toddlers naturally develop early language, cognitive, and motor skills, while also practicing cooperation, problem-solving, and empathy at a pace that feels just right for them.
At HNS, respect, kindness, and collaboration guide everything we do. We believe children express themselves in many ways, and we honor each child’s ideas, emotions, and growing sense of self.
