Program Offerings

Sand Tots offers classes for children aged two through five. Potty training is not a requirement for admission. Any family of a preschool-age child is eligible for membership. Sand Tots has the cutoff date of September 1st of that academic school year to establish the correct age level for determining fall enrollment in all our classes: the 2/3’s class, the 3/4’s class  and the 4/5’s. For example, to be eligible for the 2/3’s class, the child must turn 2 on or before September 1st.

Sand Tots does not discriminate against any child or parent, including but not limited to discrimination based on race, religion, color or creed.

STAY & PLAY PROGRAM (Offered beginning in October)

Our Stay & Play program is offered to our 3/4 year old classes. The program is designed to be an extension of your child’s day, providing additional time outside to eat lunch, explore a variety of exciting activities, and socialize with Sand Tots peers. 

Stay & Play Enrichment is entirely staffed by Sand Tots and requires no assisting obligation from parents. Tuition is billed monthly at $240 for two days per week, or $120 for one day per week, based on a 4-week month. Tuition may fluctuate depending on the number of classes in each month.

SUMMER CAMP

Summer Camp is an opportunity to extend the fun of learning for your child along with lots of water play! It is also a wonderful way to experience a different classroom setting and teacher experience and prepare for the following year placement. Sand Tots students who are entering our 3/4-year-old and 4/5-year-old programs, along with graduating students, may enroll in Summer Camp, which is entirely staffed and does not require any classroom participation from parents. Snack is also provided as part of the program. Summer Camp is scheduled in 4-day sessions running Monday through Thursday from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Registration is available beginning in the spring following regular class registration.
