About the Provider
Welcome to Tots & Blocks. Our school was established in 1970 and we are happy to report that we are now getting children of happy former students. What is the Tots & Blocks Spirit that has made us the area’s most exciting pre-school for over 40 years?
It starts with the philosophy that children are curious, energetic, sensitive individuals. With this in mind, we create a nurturing, respectful and developmentally appropriate environment that allows each child to advance socially, cognitively and physically.
