ABOUT US

​

​Welcome to Methodist Tiny Tots Preschool!

For over 60 years, Methodist Tiny Tots has been a place where children learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing, play-with-purpose environment. Located in the heart of Modesto, our preschool spans an entire block, giving little learners plenty of space to explore, create, and discover.

At Tiny Tots, we believe that early childhood education should be hands-on, engaging, and filled with joy. Our dedicated teachers foster a love of learning through play, creativity, and structured activities that support each child’s development. We strive to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning while nurturing kindness, curiosity, and confidence.

​

As a nonprofit preschool, we are committed to serving our community and providing quality education to families of all backgrounds. We cherish the relationships we build with our students and their families and are honored to be part of this special chapter in their lives.

Stay connected with us on Facebook and Instagram @mytinytotspreschool to see all the fun and learning happening at Tiny Tots!

We invite you to visit us, meet our team, and see why Tiny Tots has been a beloved part of the Modesto community for generations!

Various play-based activities help children build social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills through positive, hands-on playing experiences focusing on key learning goals and kindergarten readiness.

Our preschool is in the heart of downtown Modesto, located at the First United Methodist Church. We are across the street from the Stanislaus County Library and down the road from the Gallo Center of the Arts.
