About the Provider
Little Tots on the Common is a children's facility designed to meet the developmental needs of children ages 6 weeks through 10 years. The emphasis of our program is on encouraging creative expressive play as well as skill based learning. Children will be provided with a broad range of opportunities which will enable them to build a solid foundation for the future. Through age appropriate projects, hands on activities and imaginative play, children will start to build the skills they will need to be successful in schools and throughout life. Children will learn how to reason, develop social skills and techniques. Through experimentation and play, curiosity and inquisitiveness will be encouraged. Children will also be provided with guidance as they learn to cope with the thoughts, feelings and reactions surrounding normal events and experiences of childhood.
