Toileting & Potty Training

At Ark Valley Preschool, potty training is approached as a gentle partnership between child, family, and teachers. We know that every child develops at their own pace, and success comes with patience, encouragement, and consistency.

Our Approach

• Books & Play: We use playful tools, like stories and props, to help children understand and feel comfortable with the process.

• Family Partnership: Teachers stay in close communication with families to support routines at home and school.

• Expert Support: When needed, we consult with specialists to guide individualized strategies for children who need extra support.

• Encouragement, Never Pressure: Children are celebrated for progress, and we never shame or rush them.

Why It Matters
Potty training is about more than using the toilet — it builds independence, self-confidence, and body awareness, laying the foundation for healthy lifelong habits.
