Potty Training Before Preschool: Navigating the In-Between with Grace

There’s something uniquely tender about the weeks leading up to preschool. Backpacks get filled, name labels get stuck on everything in sight, and the reality begins to settle in: your little one is taking a big step into a brand new season.

But for many parents, that excitement is accompanied by a quietly gnawing question:

“Are we potty trained enough for preschool?”

Whether your toddler is still resistant to the idea, halfway there, or mostly trained with the occasional “oops,” it’s easy to feel the pressure — especially with preschool potty training requirements and social expectations looming large. 

And while every scroll through social media might make it seem like everyone else’s child is already dry, confident, and ready to go — we’re here to tell you something simple, but important:

You’re not behind. You’re not failing. And neither is your child.

Grace for the Preschool Potty Training Journey

At EveryLife, we believe growing up is sacred — but it’s also messy, slow, and beautifully non-linear. Milestones like potty training before preschool don’t come with a timer. They come with patience, love, and a whole lot of practice.

This season might be filled with accidents on the carpet, extra laundry loads, and moments where you wonder if it's ever going to click. But it’s also full of growth, bravery, and little victories worth celebrating — even if it’s just sitting on the potty without protest or staying dry for half a morning.

So let’s take the pressure off. And add a little peace back in.

The Best Training Pants for Toddlers Still Learning

Our EveryLife Training Pants are designed for this exact moment — the in-between space where your child is gaining independence but still needs gentle support. Whether you're navigating how to potty train for preschool or simply giving your toddler more freedom, these pants help bridge the gap.

Made with the same purpose-driven mission as our premium diapers, EveryLife Training Pants offer:

• A soft, comfy fit that moves with your child as they learn.
• Secure leak protection for preschool mornings, outings, and nap time.
• Clean, chemical-free materials so you can support your little one’s skin and their independence — without compromise.

EveryLife Training Pants are more than a product. They’re a safety net — a confidence-booster — and an answer to the question: “What if we’re not quite there yet?”

Encouragement for Parents Potty Training Before Preschool

Your child is wonderfully made. Their journey is unfolding right on time. And this season, while full of transition, is also full of opportunity — to cheer them on, to celebrate progress (not perfection), and to remind yourself that you’re doing a great job.

Potty training doesn’t have to be a stressful deadline. It can be a dialogue. One filled with grace, growth, and giggles along the way.

And when the first day of preschool rolls around? Whether you’ve got a fully potty-trained kiddo or a still-learning little one in Training Pants, we hope you’ll take a deep breath, snap that first-day photo — and smile knowing you prepared them with love.
