Our goal is to provide a quality educational program balanced with a developmental approach to nurture the development of the “whole child”. This requires a physically safe and emotionally secure setting where children can explore and experiment with a variety of hands on materials. We ensure a supportive, patient, confidence building atmosphere, which promotes physical, emotional, intellectual and creative social growth. These techniques are the solid foundation for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.

Tiny Tot Preschool and Kindergarten provides a safe and nurturing environment, which promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive and creative development of young children. We believe that a developmentally appropriate program should be provided for all children. A developmental program is one in which the curriculum is geared to the age appropriateness of children as well as individual maturational difference. Learning in young children is a result of interaction between the child’s thoughts and experiences with his or her environment. Our program’s aim is to provide for the whole child.
We believe that the role of our teachers is to facilitate the optimum social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of each child by being aware of the various stages of development and providing the appropriate learning experiences. At Tiny Tot Preschool and Kindergarten, play is recognized as the natural vehicle by which a child learns. It is through play that the child exercises curiosity and imagination, learns to concentrate, tries new ideas and practices grown-up behavior. The value of play cannot be overstated. Children must also be allowed to move about in an environment, which offers a variety of attractive, stimulating and interesting activities. Giving ample opportunity to make choices benefits children by enhancing self-esteem, encouraging independence and developing a sense of responsibility for his or her own actions.
Creativity is seen as an attitude or way of thinking about one’s environment, which comes easily to the young child. We believe that it is the nurturing adult to enhance and refine creativity within each child by showing respect for their ideas, encouraging self-initiated learning, respecting individual difference, fostering curiosity, providing a variety of media through which creativity can be expressed, modeling creative behavior, and reducing the pressure of evaluation and competition.
A child’s experience Tiny Tot Preschool and Kindergarten is seen as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, the family. In order to provide for the optimal development, we are convinced that it is essential to work with parents to meet each child’s needs. In order to strengthen the child’s relationship within his or her family, we provide a warm and caring atmosphere, which fosters within the child a sense of security, self-confidence and individual worth.
