The Tiny Tots philosophy is that children learn best through play. We believe children need a safe, nurturing environment to grow and learn and that children’s work is play. Children are encouraged through careful supervision of our preschool teachers to discover and learn. Through music, art, crafts, dramatic play, free play and active outdoor play the children learn social skills and necessary skills for kindergarten. At Tiny Tots we provide monthly themes introducing; colors, numbers, shapes and letters.
In addition to the summer camps and activities provided by Petaluma Parks and Recreation, we also partner with private youth sports organizations who utilize our fields and facilities for practices and games. Please read our Activity Guide or check our online reservation system.
