"Tots’, unlike many preschools, is truly play-based. The amount of structured learning is perfect. Tots’s fundamental philosophy is that children learn best through unstructured, spontaneous, self-directed play. Developmental psychologists, who have studied the importance of play on children’s socio-emotional and academic competence, have supported this philosophy for over three decades. Many preschools tour that their programs are play-based when, in fact, they impose an unnecessary amount of structure. The more structured the program, the less opportunity our children have to enjoy independence and to develop the confidence needed to approach complex tasks. Highly structured classrooms begin in kindergarten and continue for at least the next 12 years --why start them at 3? As our schools become increasingly rigorous (even for the little ones), I find myself ever grateful for organizations like Tots’ that allow children to be children. My children’s natural curiosity was nurtured at Tots’. They cultivated self-direction, self-motivation, and a love of learning that they have carried forward into kindergarten and they are thriving as a result.​"
