Services
We recommend that parents schedule a tour of our school to receive complete program information, class availability and rate information. TotSpot Preschool is a PART DAY preschool. Students may be on campus a maximum of 4 hours per day. Extended care hours are available before or after the scheduled class times on a one time or ongoing basis in 1/2 hour increments.
Preschool campers will discover a "Summer of Fun" at TotSpot Preschool. Our preschool camp emphasizes fun and independence for all campers. Our energetic teachers present exciting themes that feature art, free play, movement and in-house field trips. Campers will have the chance to socialize with children their own age and reconnect with school year friends.
The curriculum at TotSpot Preschool is aligned with NAEYC standards (National Association for the Education of Young Children). The daily curriculum includes art, science, math, phonics, handwriting, dramatic play, music & movement, fine motor skills, sensory activities, and more! Field trips may be scheduled at the discretion of the teachers to further explore and reinforce concepts learned in selected units.
What is PTO you ask? PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization. We established PTO with the intention of recruiting willing parents to volunteer with some special projects and events at TotSpot. We also wanted to get some helpful insight from our parent's perspective. Many parents are intimidated about committing to PTO, but we want you to be assured that there is NO financial or time commitment.

You will not find a better preschool than TotSpot! My 5 year old just graduated today and I couldn't have been happier with the experience she had with this school. She joined at 2 years old and from the moment she started we saw both social and academic advances. There are no bad teachers at this school because they are so particular about who they hire and every class offers my kids the opportunity to explore in a fun and structured way that actually achieved great results. My daughter is going into kindergarten already reading and practicing basic math skills. She has learned science, history

Our family just loves ToSpot!! Our daughter Marin went to school her from 2 years old till Pre-K. She absolutely loved it there and I loved it because all the teachers and even the director Shannon went out of their way to make this a special and engaging place for our daughter. Marin came out of Tot Spot reading and doing math, this isn't day care this is a real place for early childhood learning. My daughter is a great student at CTA now and loves learning and it is because Tot Spot helped make her excited about reading, math and science. I love how everything is clean here too, no nasty

Our family moved to the area from the north east last May. Once we were settled on a house, one of our first priorities was finding a preschool for our 4 year old daughter. The first thing that drew us to Totspot was the traditional preschool program. We weren't looking for daycare and didn't want to be required to send our daughter to school for 5 hours a day. We toured a few schools, but the tour of Totspot with Shannon made the decision easy. The rooms were bright, with many learning areas. Shannon talked about the learning programs that they used to prep children for kindergarten, but also

I was very happy to find Tot Spot Preschool, after months of exhaustive research. I am a mom of 9 children; and am very particular about where I allow my kids to be and whom I will let interact with them. I found the school to be clean, and the staff to be not just professional, but personable as well. I was apprehensive at first, but my daughter absolutely LOVES it there! They do fun projects and keep you up to date about your child's progress. Having taught my own preschool for 7 years, I can say with absolute certainty, this is both an amazing preschool and curriculum, and is staffed by people

I came across Totspot Preschool when I was ready to go back to work FT. After being a stay at home mom for 4 years and my youngest being 4 I needed to find a safe and learning environment for him.
After researching many Preschools in Gilbert I found Totspot to be the more clean, loving, and awesome curriculum that beat any other preschools. The teachers are awesome and very loving. The only thing that I found challenging about Totspot was finding daycare for my 4 yr old son when Totspot was closed. This was challenging because both parents work. If both of you are not working parents than you

Totspot Preschool is by far the best preschool my children have ever attended. I have sent 2 of my children there and they both had wonderful experiences and were well prepared for kindergarten and beyond. The staff and teachers are some of the most kind, caring, and creative people I have ever met. Totspot Preschool provides a learning experience that is unique in a day of preschool chains where the children seem to be just numbers. They are truly treated like individuals. I highly recommend Totspot Preschool!

My son and daughter have both gone to Tot Spot preschool for three years now. They have loved every teacher they have had from the time they started until pre-K this year. All of the staff and teachers and families at Tot Spot are just wonderful. My son and daughter have learned so much while attending preschool at Tot Spot. I would recommend anybody looking for a preschool to check out Tot Spot. The school is very clean, smells clean and that is huge for me especially compared to a lot of others out there that I have toured!

We have been going to Totspot for 2 years now. Both our 2 and 3 year old are in class at the school. We have really enjoyed the experience and have seen our kids grow academically and socially. All of the teachers are very welcoming and kind. They really work with your child to get over the beginning of the school year nerves. Both of our children had a rough couple of first weeks in a new place and their teachers were so patient and loving with them. They showed them support, made them feel safe, and secure. Now are kids love school and can’t wait to go!

We teach computer class at Totspot. The owner Ms. Shannon is very kind, professional, communicative, and support our program. The preschool's teachers are very friendly and supportive. They are very kind and care about the students. We attended their Fall Festival organized by the leadership of Ms. Shannon and her staffs. It was very very very impressive. They really did a great job putting it together. It made me feel like a part of the local community. We also noticed that they have a very unique preschool curriculum based on our observation on the students' art project. I only recommend high

Both my daughters have attended TotSpot and LOVED it. The teachers and staff are so caring, energetic, and fun. It's obvious that the teachers really care about their students. I love that my kids have fun while learning / following academic programs - Zoo Phonics, Handwriting Without Tears, math, and science. The kids are exposed to all they need to get ready for kindergarten. Every day my daughter is excited to go to school. My older daughter, who now is in elementary school, still loves going back for the Parents' Night Out evenings. I recommend this to anyone looking for a preschool.

Totspot has been excellent for us. We enrolled our son here a year ago when we moved to Arizona from out of state. Being new to the area we didn't know anything about any of the preschools around, and did not really know who to ask. We ended up driving around to, and taking tours of, many other preschools before deciding on Totspot. Totspot stood out as the best by far. We felt like so many of the other places that called themselves preschools, were in reality just day care facilities that provided a little amount of preschool material. Totspot was different. The teachers are amazing and the kids
