Our goal is to help children succeed to rising expectations of the California State Standards. Preschool, Kindergarten, and early elementary classes require and expect children to master several high-level skills. Tutoring for Tots’ curriculum mirrors these expectations, but puts the concepts into a context that is fun and achievable for the child.

Our approach is that children learn best through educational games, music, and innovative practices in combination with pencil-paper activities. We believe that children will gain a positive attitude toward learning and build confidence and self esteem if the concepts are taught in an enjoyable and developmentally appropriate method.
