Welcome to Tots 'N Toyland! We are a state-licensed preschool and daycare center offering experienced child care for children ages birth to school age. Our center is operated by myself, Erica Dorsey, and two other fantastic directors. I am in my thirties, a mother of three children, and I bring sixteen years of experience to our team. I am a former nationally registered EMT with expertise in childhood safety and life-saving technique and I insist on prevention and planning. I hold a CDA credential in Early Childhood Education. Reina Yeargain is our Program Director and is a graduate of Virginia Tech. She brings six years of childcare experience with a passion for early childhood development. She is caring, energetic and loves to read and lesson plan, and also holds a CDA credential in Early Childhood Education.  Callie Dean is the co-founder of Tots and is the acting Assistant Director. She has over 10 years of experience in childcare, has two boys of her own and extensive knowledge of early childhood education and development. All three of us carry broad knowledge of early learning; including speech and language, cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, sensory integration and social/emotional development. We are educated and experienced with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Epilepsy, developmental and learning delays and we are well-versed in expected childhood milestones. We are dedicated to shaping your child's day into an experience that exceeds your's and their expectations. Working with us are thirty amazing teachers ranging in age from their twenties to their fifties. Each teacher brings a wonderfully unique perspective to our center and we respect them as our equal. This center’s success is directly related to the passion and unwavering commitment they show regarding the proper care of our children. 

We believe in small classroom sizes and individual attention for each child. Our classrooms are set up to offer individualized attention for each child and are rich with opportunities for learning a wide variety of subject matter. We are so privileged to have the opportunity to work with your families, and we can’t wait to start making memories!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Erica, Miss. Reina and Mrs. Callie

We offer a fair opportunity for this vulnerable population to enjoy all the same experiences as their typical peers. We have a competitive pricing plan; and our low rates for child care allow you as parents to focus on what's most important, which is providing for and taking care of your family.
