Preschool Education
Now is the time to truly start discovering the world. What better place to start than at Tutor Time? Our exclusive Tutor Time® LifeSmart™ curriculum was designed to encourage exploration and embrace all the different ways that children excel. Aligned with National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) standards and inspired by the work of child development expert Howard Gardner, this curriculum helps children expand on their own unique gifts or “smarts.”

Grocery shopping in our Tutor Towne™ Village, reading and sharing stories, building models and towers, learning a new dance – all of these are ways to reinforce concepts. And while this is the time that teachers introduce a more structured environment, we still set aside plenty of time for self-directed play and experimentation.
