OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Tot Time, we believe every child belongs to God. We desire to nurture the self-esteem of each child and to instill that they are worthy of love and acceptance just as they are. Throughout each activity and lesson, this Biblical truth is reinforced. We trust that when we plant the seeds of God′s Word, we are helping to lay the foundation that will carry the children through the rest of their lives. It is our prayer that each child leaves our program happy, confident, and excited to learn more about the unique gifts God has given them.

WHY TOT TIME?
God has given parents and teachers the incredible responsibility of nurturing the children He has placed in our care. At Tot Time Preschool, we want all children who attend our program to know that God loves them and has given them many unique gifts and talents. The goal of our program is to address each child’s total development. Along with this philosophy, several distinctions set Tot Time apart.
Small Class Sizes
To help our teachers provide a positive and instructive environment, we believe we must first begin with the proper teacher-child ratio. These smaller class sizes enable our teachers to know and engage each child while preparing them for their next academic phase.
Bible Focus
Daily bible time is a cornerstone of our program. Using stories and songs, we work to build a strong Biblical foundation that children can carry through life. Our teachers model God’s unconditional love, so children feel happy, confident, and eager to learn.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is based on monthly themes that expose children to a wide range of age-appropriate concepts and activities to expand their world and prepare them for their next academic phase.
Our PK and TK curriculum also includes an introduction to phonics, language arts, geography, math, and science.
Play Based
We want to give our children time to be children. Our program encourages learning and development through exploration and play. We believe lifelong learners are created when we make education active and fun! By using monthly themes, messy crafts, and hands-on projects, our unique activities allow the children to both learn and have fun!
Music Special
Music enhances all areas of child development. It helps the body and mind work together while allowing self-expression. Singing, listening, dancing, and instrument play are components of each class. Concepts build in complexity as the children get older. When your children come home singing their new favorite songs, it will bring a smile to your face.
Art Special
In our Art classes, fine and gross motor skills are enhanced with the use of different tools, techniques, and mediums. Our curriculum encourages process over product. Skills introduced in art include: creativity, problem solving, focus, and collaboration.
Motor Skills
My Gym is a bi-monthly gymnastics and physical education class taught by trained teachers from the My Gym studio. Classes help children build healthy habits to last a lifetime. The children have loads of fun as they gain strength, balance, coordination, agility, flexibility, and social skills. We keep children healthy by making fitness fun!
