How Your Child Learns at TotSpot

Four year olds having fun at TotSpot Preschool in Gilbert AZ.

Most children learn best not by sitting still and listening, but by touching, doing, asking, and trying again. Every program at TotSpot is built around that truth: hands-on exploration, guided play, and real relationships with teachers who know your child by name.

  • Small classes with a 1:7 teacher-to-child ratio
  • Academic foundations for kindergarten
  • Emotional intelligence and self-regulation skills
  • The confidence to thrive in any room they walk into

2-Year-Old Program

A warm first step into learning

For most two-year-olds, this is their first experience in a classroom. We make it a great one. Your child will begin building the social and academic foundations that everything else is built on: learning to follow routines, connect with teachers and peers, and explore the world around them with confidence.

What your child will work on:

  • Early language and communication
  • Classroom routines and socialization
  • Fine motor development
  • Sensory exploration and creativity

Curriculum your child experiences:

  • FUNdations: Early introduction to letters, sounds, and visual recognition through play
  • Everyday Math: Counting, sorting, and patterns woven into daily activities
  • Conscious Discipline: Building emotional awareness, self-regulation, and a sense of belonging

3-Year-Old Program

Building confidence, one skill at a time

Three-year-olds are ready for more: more structure, more challenge, more independence. This program meets them there. Your child will strengthen the foundations from their earlier years while developing the critical thinking, communication, and social skills that set them apart.

What your child will work on:

  • Language and early literacy
  • Problem-solving and critical thinking
  • Fine motor skill development
  • Cooperative play and social skills

Curriculum your child experiences:

  • FUNdations: Letter recognition (upper and lowercase), sounds, and phonemic awareness
  • Everyday Math: Number recognition, patterns, sorting, measuring, and hands-on exploration
  • Conscious Discipline: Emotional regulation, empathy, and positive behavior

4-Year-Old (Pre-K) Program

Kindergarten readiness, for real

This is where it all comes together. Our Pre-K program is taught at a true kindergarten-readiness level, so your child doesn’t just show up on the first day of kindergarten. They walk in knowing what to expect, what’s expected of them, and that they can do it.

Every child is met where they are developmentally, but the goal is the same for all of them: confident, capable, and ready.

What your child will work on:

  • Early reading and literacy
  • Advanced math concepts
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving
  • Writing readiness and fine motor precision
  • Social-emotional intelligence

Curriculum your child experiences:

  • FUNdations Phonics: A structured phonics program covering letter recognition, sounds, rhyming, syllables, and comprehension
  • Sight Word Recognition: Kindergarten-level sight words to build early reading confidence
  • Reading for All Learners: A research-based program that develops fluency and a genuine love of reading
  • Everyday Math: Number recognition to 20, ten-frames, shapes, money, patterns, and problem-solving
  • Conscious Discipline: Developed by Dr. Becky Bailey, this brain-based approach teaches emotional regulation, empathy, and responsibility
  • The Positivity Project: Weekly character education built around kindness, integrity, and perseverance, because who your child becomes matters as much as what they know

We Agree Your Child Should be Smart and Resilient
