New Expanded Hours & Safety Protocols
As parents, we know families are feeling stressed out and stretched thin. That's why we developed protcols based on the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), and The American Academy of Pediatrics. We also instituted an option for expanded hours. Our new policies are designed to keep kids, families and teachers safe, while accommodating a full-day schedule.
More flexibility for your family!

The Tots' Program
The Tots’ program accepts children who turn 3 years of age by December 31st of the year they start, until they go to Kindergarten. We help children with the developmental tasks of separating from home, sharing, taking turns and respecting others. Learning occurs through activities that involve as many of the five senses as possible, from banging on instruments to building with blocks and playing with sand. We also begin developing number and letter recognition through thoughtful play-based activities.
Lessons also focus on kindergarten preparedness with writing the letters A-Z (capital and lowercase), writing the numbers 1-10, the calendar (names of days and months), perception and developing observation skills, understanding opposites, sequence comprehension (patterns and relationships), character education (positive values and attitude development), and health (body awareness).
Students must be potty trained!
Tots’ offers a hands-on curriculum that gets the kids excited to learn – giving them the foundation to be lifelong learners.
At Tots', our Students Learn:
-
Strong Social Skills
-
Language Skills
-
Self-sufficiency
-
Numeracy
-
Building Blocks for Literacy
-
Creativity of Discovery
