TOT DROP’s Statement of Purpose:
To provide a recreation program for toddlers and preschoolers with flexible scheduling. We are Preschool by Appointment.
TOT DROP allows children to explore school in ways which are developmentally appropriate for each child as teachers facilitate parallel and cooperative play.
Children can choose to play independently or with other children (including their sibling) or with a teacher. Art projects are provided for children who show an interest in exploring the materials. Circle time songs and finger plays are conducted throughout the day for children who choose to join in.
Children are not required, but are gently guided, to participate in projects and circle time. All children’s efforts, at all developmental levels, are viewed as appropriate and are applauded.
We are proud that TOT DROP is a noisy, messy place!
TOT DROP works with children and parents to help them through separation and into independence. Parents are encouraged to stay with their child as they work toward successful separation. TOT DROP is not daycare so parents of children who cannot attend successfully will be asked to try again when the child is older. All efforts will be made to achieve success! Teachers and parents will design a schedule which best meets the specific child’s needs.

Parent Testimonials: TOT DROP
"I like the idea that it isn't just a "drop off" place but rather is run like a preschool with circle time and crafts."
"Being new to California, it's nice to have a place where both kids can be together. I wasn't sure where to start. You really helped. Thanks."
"A great service at a reasonable fee, without long-term obligation, registration and insurance fees, etc."
"TOT DROP is a place my two children, who are three years apart in age, can go together.
It has helped my son, the younger child, to adjust in a multiage environment while having his sister close by."
“It’s perfect for a stay at home parent who needs to accomplish tasks without kids.”
"It gives me some time to myself and time with my new baby. "
“TOT DROP creates fun activities for the children to take part in while learning at the same time!"
"He always wants to go. He always leaves having had a good time.”
"I like that you can call last minute for a spot and that you can adjust your times to fit your schedule."
"I feel great about leaving him and never worry. The teachers are are caring and patient.”
"I am so thankful that TOT DROP exists. I recently moved here from another state. I couldn't just leave my children with anyone. I am very comfortable with the supervision they receive. I will highly recommend this program to every mother in need."
"I can plan in advance when I need to or call last minute if the need arises."
“The voicemail system is great, easy to use. TOT DROP is great for us as we are self-employed and our schedules are undetermined. It's also great not to get penalized for canceling on short notice."
"TOT DROP meets my needs because I am not a regimented person. I like to be able to make an arrangement on a weekly basis instead of for the whole year."
“TOT DROP is a Godsend.
