Peralta Campus
Toddler Daycare and Early Learning on Peralta Blvd
Long known to local families as Happy Bear Learning, our Peralta campus is our central Fremont school, and the toddler classrooms are where most Peralta families join us for the first time. Under director Ms. Arpita Patel, the toddler rooms at 3620 Peralta Blvd are set up as open learning spaces: low shelves of Montessori practical-life materials for pouring, scooping, and sorting, a reading corner, and a fenced outdoor play area toddlers use every day the weather allows. The program starts at 18 months.
Our Peralta campus is open Mon - Fri: 8:30am - 5:30pm, so working parents get a full day of care in one place. Teachers share photos, meals, naps, and diaper or potty updates through the Brightwheel app, and the whole campus is nut- and peanut-free. Our Kindness Curriculum and Creative Curriculum lessons sit alongside the Montessori materials, giving toddlers structure without taking away the freedom to move and explore.

What the Toddler Program Looks Like at Peralta
Toddlers learn by moving, touching, and talking, so the Peralta toddler day is built around short, active blocks rather than long sit-down lessons. Here is what parents can expect from the toddler rooms on Peralta Blvd.
Language That Takes Off
Teachers narrate everything they do, read aloud daily, and lead circle time songs and finger plays. Toddlers at Peralta also get early exposure to Spanish through our enrichment program, and most families notice a jump in vocabulary within the first few months.
Practical Life and Independence
Hand-washing, putting on shoes, carrying a plate, wiping a table: Montessori practical-life work gives toddlers real jobs they can finish on their own. When your child shows readiness, Peralta teachers partner with you on potty training so the approach at school matches home.
Movement and Outdoor Play Every Day
The fenced Peralta play yard is used daily, and physical exercise or dance is part of the routine. Optional enrichment like yoga and music adds variety during the week, with some classes offered at an additional cost.
Gentle Transitions
New Peralta families get a gradual start, and Brightwheel updates during the first weeks help parents see their toddler settling in. Teachers meet each child where they are, whether this is their first school or a move from another program.
