About Us

The Classroom

The Whale Room is part of the Universal Pre-K program, which consists of children from 4-5 years old. The goal in the Whale Room is to provide a safe, pro-social learning environment for your child. We will be developing growth in each child by offering developmentally appropriate activities and materials to achieve this.

Our pre-k programs teach to a play-based approach to learning, while also working closely with the schools to get your child ready for kindergarten! These classrooms use the Livingston Great Start Collaborative Kindergarten Readiness Indicators as guidelines to help your child prepare for their next step in school.
 

Tot Spot’s Universal Preschool classrooms are free tuition. The Universal Preschool classrooms are funded through Michigan’s Great Start To Readiness Program (GSRP) and follow all of the guidelines and expectations that have made Michigan’s GSRP program one of the top ten, state funded preschool programs, in the nation. Michigan’s GSRP is nationally known as a high-quality PreK model and is one of only five state PreK programs that meets all 10 PreK Quality Standards Benchmarks set by the National Institute of Early Education Research (NIEER). In order to receive GSRP funding, programs must meet, or be working towards, standards that define teacher credentials, curriculum, ratios, support services, and other critical program characteristics.
