A Heart-Centered Partnership with the New Paltz Central School District
Embedded Files
At Tots In Toyland, we believe that childhood is a time of wonder, and the classroom should feel like a second home. Our mission is to nurture the 'whole child', celebrating each unique personality while providing a gentle, play-based bridge to their future at Duzine Elementary. We don't just prepare children for school; we inspire them to love learning.
Welcome to our Classroom Family
We see the potential in every child who walks through our doors. We believe that early childhood education is about more than just academic milestones; it is about building confidence, practicing kindness, and fostering a deep sense of belonging.
Our program is rooted in the belief that play is the work of the child. Within our walls, curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn, and every "discovery" is a reason to celebrate. By following the New York State Pre-Kindergarten Learning Standards, we ensure our students are socially and emotionally resilient, ready to step into Kindergarten with a spirit of joy and a mind full of wonder.
Our Partnership
As an approved Community-Based Organization (CBO), we work closely with the New Paltz Central School District to ensure our program meets the highest educational benchmarks. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where children are supported by both our dedicated staff and District oversight. This partnership ensures our curriculum, from early literacy to social-emotional growth, is fully aligned with the New Paltz educational mission to get every child kindergarten-ready.
