Tot-Time Child Development Centers' Kindergarten program is ideal for children who are too young to attend a mainstream school or who thrive in small classroom settings.
During the pre-school years your child is enjoying the thrill of exploration and discovery.
Our teachers and staff strive to nurture this passion for learning and use a variety of methods to teach your child "the basics." In addition to individual and group activities, games, and arts and crafts, your child may have the opportunity to engage in educational programs on one of the classroom computers.** Pre-School is the time when we focus on developing your child's language skills and vocabulary.
We also teach your child to recognize colors, letters and numbers.
At our centers, your baby will enjoy a day filled with love, individualized attention and play.
Our caregivers provide a nurturing, home-like environment for your baby by using gentle voices, playing soft music and adhering to your child's individual feeding and sleeping schedule.
