What is Tot School?
Tot School was "invented" by moms everywhere and named by my oldest son. It is not a curriculum, it's just a way of life! Here's how it began...Tot School developed while riding in the car one day. The conversation went something like this:
Pac (my then 6 yr old): "Mom, are you going to send Krash (my then almost 2 year old) to pre-school?"
Me: "No, I am going to keep him at home and homeschool him like you."
Pac: "Well mom, you know he's already in school right?
Me: "No, I didn't know that, what do you mean?"
Pac: "He's in Tot School."
Me: "Why yes, I guess he is."
That's how it began, although it really began long before that, it just didn't have a name until that day! After giving this name some thought, it hit me to make it a bit more official, so I rolled ideas over in my brain and out came Tot School on my blog. I began to record what we were doing and began sharing and inviting other moms of tots to share too. I became more intentional with Tot School and both boys have benefited tremendously from it.
So, in a way yes it "began here" but it is really just something we all do as moms-provide learning opportunities for our tots everyday!
Tot School is nothing more than intentionally providing your tot with age appropriate activities that are fun and engaging. By choosing specific toys and activities, we expose our tots to a variety of early learning skills. Mastery is not the goal, FUN is!
