ABOUT US
Welcome to Tiny Tots Preschool – a loving, faith-based Modesto preschool that has enriched the whole child, body, and soul for over 50 years.
Tiny Tots Preschool welcomes children ages two through five years. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We offer full-time, part-time, and morning enrichment programs and are open year-round. We are closed for 14 legal holidays.
Our program encourages overall good hygiene, including toileting and hand-washing. We also provide a diapering service for children who are not potty trained.
MISSION & PHILOSOPHY
Tiny Tots Preschool is an extension of First United Methodist Church’s educational program. Our developmental program provides a safe and nurturing environment that supports the development of young children. Various play-based activities help children build social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills through positive, hands-on playing experiences focusing on key learning goals and kindergarten readiness.
LOCATION
Our preschool is in the heart of downtown Modesto, located at the First United Methodist Church. We are across the street from the Stanislaus County Library and down the road from the Gallo Center of the Arts.
