Parent Information
Thank you for trusting us with your children. We are committed to providing your family with the best early childhood education experience possible. We do this by hiring the best teachers, providing them a wide range of continuing education opportunities throughout the year and providing them with the resources necessary to implement what they learn into our classrooms.
We believe that Toddlertime is YOUR preschool as much as it is your child’s preschool. Research shows that parent involvement is an important aspect of your child’s education and the earlier the involvement, the more powerful the effects. Parent involvement is defined as communicating, volunteering, team decision making, learning at home and collaborating with the community. We offer all those opportunities at Toddlertime and hope that you will get involved! Not only is your involvement good for your child but it’s also fun and a great way to make your own friends.

The mission of Toddlertime’s educational program is to provide a foundation for success in life. With this goal in mind, we have been inspired by leaders of education, business, and health fields to create an educational program that not only prepares children for later success in school but also develops key skills which will serve children throughout life.
