General Info:
Tiny Tot Preschool in Skokie, IL provides full and half-day care for children ages 15 months through 6 years old. Founded in 1948, Tiny Tot Preschool has been family-owned and operated for over 60 years, and prides itself on the quality of its child development program. We provide enriching activities designed to enhance each child's social, emotional, intellectual and physical development in a stimulating and nurturing environment.
Central to our curriculum is the tenet that young children learn best through play, and that excellent teaching begins with understanding why and how children play. All aspects of a child's development - cognitive, emotional, social, and physical - must be nurtured by this process. It is through play that children come to understand natural and physical properties, develop fine and gross motor skills, learn to use language, develop a sense of imagination, and cultivate social relationships, self-control and respect for one another and the environment.
At Tiny Tot Preschool, we use a diverse set of concrete experiences to help our children grow:
• Art
• Music
• Cooking
• Dramatic play
• Block play
• Problem solving
• Physical activities
• Language
• Self-help
• And more!
Because each child is different, we give them opportunities to make their own decisions about which activities to participate in.
Opportunities for working and playing in small and large groups and individually are available. We encourage children to explore, create and express themselves at their own pace. The classroom environment is designed to promote and encourage learning and development through socialization, exploration, experiences with a variety of materials, self-awareness and informal play.
We encourage parents to take advantage of our open door policy, engaging in our program in any and every way they can. Visit and observe, attend field trips, or help us develop new activities. Parents are their children's first and best teachers, and we love to have them actively involved in our educational partnership.
