About the Program:

In our program, we believe that every child has a voice and a gift for learning. In our program your child will enjoy learning The Building Blocks of Pre K. Introduction to alphabets, numbers, colors, patterns and basic math. In addition, they will acquire social skills, sensory development, problem solving skills, tracing objects and physical education. We know that children are their best when they are happy so our teachers make learning fun by creating games that help our kids learn together. We pride ourselves on creating learning experiences filled with laughter, structure and ingenuity. Structure to teach our children how to behave in a school setting, ingenuity to help them create learning tools that will help them throughout their academic careers. Where we teach with love.

Cato’s Tiny Tots is wonderful. The owner, Shannon, is so caring, considerate and professional. She runs an excellent center and we really have enjoyed working with her. Thank you Cato’s! 

Cato's Tiny Tots has been transformational for our daughter.  She loved learning her ABCs at 2 and was unable to incorporate that into her play-based previous daycare. We transferred her to Cato's Tiny Tots just before her 3rd birthday. Now, at 4 years old, she is writing her name, enjoying sight word reading and is working on subtraction. She loves her time there. The balance between early academics and play has been excellent and we've watched her blossom.  She loves going to the park everyday and their weekly trips to the library/storytime! One of the most important things about our experience has been the ability to partner with Shannon on how to address behavioral issues uniformly at home and at daycare. Working with Shannon to have this consistency in our daughter's life has been amazing and we've seen the positive results. We feel like Shannon is a true partner in caring for our child and in ensuring she grows up happy and healthy in all ways.  Our son started with Shannon at 6 months old and he is now 21 months old. His experience has been equally outstanding and he loves to sing his ABCs with his sister.  Shannon has been great in helping him take his first steps, use eating utensils, identify his colors and expand his vocabulary to incorporate simple sentences. Our children can get along and play well together because Shannon fosters an environment that encourages healthy play among all children (her tiniest are never bullied!). She allows them to each grow and feel special in their own way. I highly recommend Cato's Tiny Tots!
