Tiny Toes Academy is dedicated to providing comprehensive support for the overall well-being and development of our children. We offer specialized services in mental health, health, and speech, with experts visiting on a weekly or monthly basis to assist children, teachers, and families both in the classroom and at home. This holistic approach ensures that every child’s individual needs are met, promoting a balanced and healthy development.
In addition to these specialized services, Tiny Toes Academy recognizes the importance of a well-rounded curriculum. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to integrate academic learning with social and emotional development, preparing children for future academic success while fostering critical life skills. Our programs are continually reviewed and updated to incorporate the latest educational research and best practices, ensuring that our teaching methods remain effective and engaging.
Here at Tiny Toes Academy we use The Creative Curriculum. The Creative Curriculum is an educational approach that weaves the arts, creativity, and hands-on learning activities into daily lessons. It seeks to nurture holistic development and enhance critical thinking skills. This curriculum sets goals in all developmental domains: Social/Emotional, Cognitive, Physical, and Language. Its main goal is to support children’s learning through play, engagement, and exploration. It stands out as an effective teaching strategy for early education, emphasizing the growth of the entire child.
Fall 2026–2027 Enrichment Programs
Beginning Fall 2026, Tiny Toes Academy is excited to introduce a series of new enrichment programs designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and support whole‑child development. While these programs are centered in our Preschool Program, many will be offered center‑wide so all of our Tiny Learners can benefit. These programs are at no additional cost and included in weekly tuition.
Tiny STEM Explorers
A hands‑on, curiosity‑driven STEM experience where children explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through playful experiments, building challenges, early coding toys, nature investigations, and problem‑solving activities. This enrichment helps children develop critical thinking, persistence, and a love for discovery.
Tiny Español Learners
A weekly, curriculum‑supported Spanish class that introduces children to early language skills through songs, stories, movement, and playful repetition. This gentle exposure builds a foundation for bilingual awareness and cultural appreciation.
Tiny Tasters Kitchen
A hands‑on cooking experience where children explore simple recipes, practice early math and science skills, and learn about food in a fun, safe, and engaging way. Kiddos mix, measure, taste, and create each week.
Tiny Mindful Movers
A movement and yoga‑based class that helps children build balance, coordination, body awareness, and calming strategies. Through stretching, dance, and guided movement, children learn to connect their bodies and minds.
Tiny MasterPieces
A weekly art class led by an artist, giving children the chance to explore different mediums, techniques, and styles. From painting to sculpture to mixed media, this class encourages creativity, confidence, and self‑expression.
Tiny Beats Lab
A music‑rich experience where children explore rhythm, instruments, sound, and musical patterns. This class supports early literacy, listening skills, and joyful expression through music.
Strengthening Our Curriculum: The Creative Curriculum®
As we expand our enrichment offerings, we are also deepening our use of The Creative Curriculum®, a research‑based, play‑centered approach that supports children’s development across all learning domains. This curriculum emphasizes hands‑on exploration, strong teacher‑child relationships, and meaningful learning experiences that follow each child’s interests and developmental needs.
The Creative Curriculum® helps children build skills in:
• Social–emotional development
• Language and early literacy
• Math and problem‑solving
• Science and discovery
• Creative arts
• Physical development
It is designed to meet children where they are and help them grow at their own pace.
Introducing Teaching Strategies®: Observations & Portfolios
Beginning Fall 2026, Tiny Toes Academy will begin using Teaching Strategies®, the observation and portfolio system that partners with The Creative Curriculum®. This tool allows teachers to document children’s learning through photos, notes, and work samples, creating a meaningful picture of each child’s growth over time.
Teaching Strategies® helps us:
• Track developmental progress with accuracy and intention
• Individualize learning experiences
• Share authentic evidence of growth with families
• Celebrate milestones and achievements in a clear, organized way
Families will see more purposeful communication about their child’s learning journey as we integrate this system into our classrooms.
