The daily experience

Play, explore, learn, and grow.

Teida’s Tots offers a flexible, child-centered home setting for children from 3 months through 5 years.

There is room for many kinds of learners.

Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers have different rhythms and needs. Activities can be adapted for age, development, energy, weather, and interest.

Children may enjoy music, art, early learning, sensory exploration, movement, nature, and imaginative play. The emphasis is on meaningful experiences, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Outdoor time

Room to move and notice nature.

Outdoor play and routine nature walks may occur when conditions are safe. Teida’s Tots does not transport children by vehicle or conduct field trips. Nature walks may visit Spring Gulch Park and can be changed or canceled for weather, safety, emergencies, or operating conditions.
