Tot Spot Early Childhood Center
Our Goals
Our goal at Tot Spot is to create a place where children can grow in every way – socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. As they grow, we aim to support their interests and abilities by helping them make friends, learn from caring teachers, and play with the right toys.
Safety is our number one priority! We provide a safe environment while keeping things friendly and organized so that your child feels secure and happy. Our hope is for all children to become curious learners who aren’t afraid to ask questions, solve problems, think up new ideas, and try new things. We want children to feel confident and capable every step of the way.
Tot Spot Early Childhood Center is licensed to provide care for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age and is designed to accommodate several different types of scheduling needs. The center serves as a full day care for children whose parents are working as well as providing preschool experiences for three and four year olds. Experiences are designed to include opportunities for social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development.
