About Us

Tiny Tots Preschool was established in 1968 and is the longest running preschool in the Town of Easton. Tiny Tots is a state accredited school licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care. First and foremost, we believe in joyful learning. We are dedicated to providing exciting opportunities for children to develop cognitively, socially, and emotionally through arts, thematic units, science and nature, and creative play. Speech and language, and fine motor skills are developed daily through literature, crafts, finger play, and music and movement. Math skills are developed through manipulatives, daily calendar and counting, graphing, sorting, patterning and measuring. We believe that children learn best when they are engaged and excited about learning activities.

Through interaction with their peers, the children engage in problem solving, and conflict resolution as well as making lasting friendships. Under the guidance of our devoted and nurturing teachers, the children are provided with opportunities to develop self-confidence, independence, and a love of learning, which is the true beginning of a great student and academic success. Our large gym and outdoor playground promote gross motors development and provide physical activity, encouraging health and fitness on a daily basis. Fresh air and outdoor play are incorporated into our school day, weather permitting.

We offer we offer a spacious, cheery classroom environment with curriculum geared towards learning through open- ended, hands-on activities that encourage curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the school year. Fun and exciting themes, our large gym and/or outdoor play yard, provide the opportunity for the children to learn, be creative, and freely express themselves in a safe and nurturing environment. Most importantly, we strive to make all our children feel secure, special, and loved, focusing on each child's individuality and uniqueness. Most of our children register for the pre-kindergarten program after our preschool program, therefore, space is very limited in this class.
