Tiny Tots Preschool

My son is currently attending the Threes Program and is having a blast! Not only is he enjoying it, he is learning so much! His vocabulary and his creativity has expanded greatly, and his love of learning, reading, helping, and interest in peer interactions has greatly increased! The teachers do a great job at teaching new things and keeping the children engaged. My little man never wants to go home when we pick him up! Overall, we’re happy to have him at Tiny Tots =)

Tiny Tots has been such a great place for my 3 year old to thrive and really develop a passion for learning. She loves her teachers and plays «school» with her dolls at home and always picks a different Tiny Tots teacher to be. The teachers are very nurturing and caring towards the children while fostering independence and growth.
The activities the teachers implement in the classroom are so dynamic, fun, educational, and unique. They are such an awesome team of women who work well together and really want to be in the classroom doing their job.
I highly recommend Tiny Tots if you are looking for a preschool to teach your child social skills, expose your child to new experiences, and really create the foundation for a love of school.

Tiny Tots and KinderPrep are amazing programs! The teachers are so attentive, compassionate, and fun! The KinderPrep program is the best because they offer both play based AND fun, hands on academic preperation for Kindergarten. You can’t ask for more with either of these programs. I reccomended this program to all my friends in the Los Altos/​Palo Alto/​Mt. View area! Go check it out, the teachers are very open to tours and are very helpful.

We chose this preschool because the facility is wonderful, the atmosphere is one of exploring and play, and the teachers are very experienced and caring. This is a preschool and, in my opinion, a preschool should be a place where children feel comfortable and free to explore. It should be a chance for children to be away from home and learn to be in a setting with other adults and children. I love that they explore fun things each week — solar system, animals, etc. Even when my daughter is having a rough day, the teachers are all very patient and communicate with me very well about what is going on. I love this program and love that I can support Parks and Recreation so they can continue to offer excellent programs for my family. My younger daughter will start the 3’s program next year and is already excited to «go to my big girl school»

Tiny Tots is an exceptional school with warm, welcoming teachers that genuinely care for the children and truly set the tone of loving school for my children! When my son started the program at three years old I was worried that he would never sit still for any class or activity and after two years at Tiny Tots he started kindergarten and just received an award from the principle for doing so well in the classroom. I truly believe his success was as result of his experience at Tiny Tots. When it was time to signup my daughter for preschool there was no question where she would go. She absolutely loves school and will literally cry if its not a school day. Thank you Tiny Tot teachers and staff for making such a wonderful program that I am proud to have my children a part of and where they truly learned to love school!

My son did the Tiny Tots 3s program this year and he loved it. He looked forward to going to school every time, had only good things to say about the teachers and learned SO much.
This is a play-​based school, so if you are, for whatever reason, looking for something academically rigorous for your 3 or 4 year old, perhaps pick a different place. I believe that children of this age learn best through play, and so was very pleased with the method the teachers used to engage the children.
They had story-​time, outdoor time, circle time and art. They did varied things like planting vegetables, harvesting them, crawling around on a tractor and making zucchini muffins. THey also had visits from the police department and fire department, which my son love. Plus the parent participation element really allows you to get to know the teachers and the other kids.
I would recommend tiny tots to anyone with 3 or 4 year olds. My son will be enrolled in the 4s program for sure next year.

Tiny Tots (TT) has a lovely facility and a nice location that is why it got one star from me. Generally the families it attracts are very nice. Yes, and it is clean. However, the teaching staff and the (lack of) support from the Los Altos Parks and Rec department is really what is keeping this facility from ever being a good preschool. This is not a school that you can expect academic education from either, which really isn’t the issue. Tiny Tots employs people with little or no formal education/​experience in actually teaching preschool or understanding child development. Scare tactics with the children have been used by the actual teachers (my direct observation a few years back). Lying to parents happens too as a form of cover-​up. If you’ve never been to another preschool, I can see why you might rate this place higher, but seriously, I would never send another one of my kids there (two were students at different times). Also, interesting, many of the families that TT’s attracts are non-​Los Altos residents. Tiny Tots is cheaper for sure, but as usual, you get what you pay for.

I found Tiny Tots Preschool quite by accident — it was via a conversation with someone in the check-​out line. I fell in love with it and have one child in the 4 year old class and one in the 3 year old class. The preschool lasts 2 and ½ hours per day (MWF for 4s, TuTh for 3s) and its a very active morning! The school is play based but they sure learn a lot, too. My 4 year old is learning her letters and numbers and best of all, how to use her «listening ears», «walking feet» and participate in structured activities. I highly recommend Tiny Tots. The teachers are great, the facility is the best I’ve seen, they have tons of toys, indoor and outdoor play and lots of learning opportunities.
