Teeter Tot Program Information

Ages 2-4.5 years
6927 Portola Drive, El Cerrito, CA 94530
Monday-Thursday 9am-12pm

The Teeter Tots program focuses on social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and using words to communicate. The program emphasizes a nurturing, first-time experience for your toddler in a play-based learning environment that will help to prepare them for a preschool/school setting. Staff are experienced in assisting both children and families in working through challenges and solutions. Snack time is scheduled, and families should bring a snack from home that is nut-free and easy to eat without any heating or preparation. Participants do not need to be toilet trained and when families are ready, staff will assist with the transition into potty training while in the program. More Information: The program enjoys both indoor and outdoor play, has a capacity of 14 children, and has a 1 teacher to 5 student ratio maxium (usually much lower than this).  Teeter Tots is a license-exempt program operating less than 12 hours per week.  To view the 2025-2026 Parent Handbook for details see https://el-cerrito.org/DocumentCenter/View/21856/Teeter-Tots-Parent-Handbook-2025-26.  For registration information see https://el-cerrito.org/436/Tot-Programs.  Financial Assistance may be available, see https://el-cerrito.org/DocumentCenter/View/21783/Childcare-Application-for-Discounted-Rates-2025-26
