The facility is so poorly run, I would NOT recommend leaving your child with
the facilitators. The director of the school is not child friendly and does not
create an atmosphere of love or nurturing. I cannot even begin to explain their
philosophy on tuition and mandatory parent involvement.

This school deserves the lowest rating and I urge any prospective parent to
consider another nursery school for their child.

Specializing in ages 2 -4 the children leave their shoes at the door and run around in socks! This gives that warm family appeal. Parents are encouraged to be a part of their child learning and the resources of the neighborhood are used as children go on trips and to the neighborhood park.

The Director is warm and makes you feel safe. She talks the time to speak to each parent and teachers are more than happy to speak to you every afternoon. While the school may lack structured curriculum children learn through art and every day basic concepts that are essential to an every day first year school experience. If you are looking for your child to have fun and feel safe, this is the school for you!

While tots may lack the strict health and safety standards that a larger school may have if you are looking for a school that’s fun and feels like one big happy family I would recommend this school for you.

When walking in the east village you could walk by Tenth Street Tots and not even notice the wonderful childcare setting you are walking by. The school is set in a quaint brownstone and holds about 15 children. In this art inspired culturally mixed area Tots fits right in with its blend of children and parents.

It truly is a school of the community. Parents are actively involved with the dedicated team who use theme inspired curriculum to teach children on an every day basis. There are three teachers on staff including the Director who is the only teacher certified. Tots range in ages from 2-4 with a strong focus on milestones and socialization as important skills for their children.

Tots also utilizes the community by bringing in performers, going to the park and sprinklers in the neighborhood, and going on many field trips throughout the city. Snack is provided but parents provide lunch which is prepared for the children by the teacher. The teachers clean up after the children and do a major cleaning at the end of each day. Throughout the day diapers are changed and potty training is encouraged though there is no set schedule for these things.

Children bring in blankets and crib sheets and sleep on cots provided by the school. In terms of safety, the door is kept locked and teachers have to let you in. Other than that there are no clear safety precautions on site. While tots may lack the strict health and safety standards that a larger school may have if you are looking for a school that’s fun and feels like one big happy family I would recommend this school for you.
