Infants at Tammie's Tots are cared for in a calm, loving, and predictable environment. With a small group and many years of experience, Tammie is able to follow each baby’s individual rhythm while gently encouraging healthy routines.

Daily infant care includes:

• Warm, responsive one-on-one attention, holding, and talking throughout the day.
• On-demand or parent-guided feeding schedules for breastmilk or formula bottles.
• Safe sleep practices, with cozy, supervised nap times in a quiet space.
• Gentle sensory play such as soft toys, music, tummy time, and age-appropriate floor play.
• Daily routines that support healthy development while honoring each baby’s needs.

Infant spots are limited to keep the group small and manageable. Most infants attend full-time to ensure consistency, but part-time may be possible if the schedule works with current openings.

Toddlers are busy, curious, and always on the move. Tammie's Tots provides structure, safety, and lots of chances to explore through play so your child can build important skills in a home-like setting.

Focus areas for toddlers:

• Plenty of active play – both indoor and outdoor – to build gross motor skills.
• Simple routines that teach taking turns, sharing, cleaning up, and following directions.
• Early language development with songs, stories, fingerplays, and conversations.
• Hands-on sensory activities like blocks, simple art, and pretend play.
• Potty training support when your child is ready, in partnership with your home routines.

Most toddlers attend full-time, Monday through Friday, for consistent care and routine. Depending on availability, some set part-time schedules (specific days each week) may be offered.

For children ages 3–5, Tammie's Tots focuses on preparing them for a smooth transition into preschool or kindergarten, while still keeping the day fun, warm, and play-based.

Preschool readiness activities:

• Pre-reading skills such as recognizing letters, listening to stories, and talking about pictures.
• Early math skills including counting, sorting, shapes, and simple patterns.
• Fine-motor practice through drawing, coloring, simple cutting, and hands-on manipulatives.
• Circle time routines with songs, calendar, simple prayers, and group discussion.
• Practice with independence skills like washing hands, putting on shoes, and cleaning up.

Children in this age group typically attend on a regular schedule so they can benefit from the routine and group learning times. Tammie will discuss what schedule works best for your child and family during your call.

Tammie's Tots is open Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM – 6:00 PM, making it easier for working parents to manage their day.

Typical full-time schedules:

• Most children attend 5 days per week, within the standard hours.
• Drop-off and pick-up times are arranged within this window based on your work schedule.
• Infants and toddlers benefit from consistent daily routines and regular attendance.

Part-time and flexible care:

• A limited number of part-time spots may be available (for example, specific days each week or consistent half-day schedules).
• Availability for part-time care changes throughout the year as children grow and move on.
• Because the program is small, scheduling is handled personally with Tammie to make sure it works for the group.

Please call to discuss the schedule you are looking for. Tammie will let you know what is currently available and whether your needs can be accommodated.

Tuition at Tammie's Tots is based on your child’s age and their weekly schedule (full-time or part-time). Because openings and needs can change, exact rates are confirmed directly with Tammie over the phone.

General rate information:

• Weekly tuition is charged for each child and holds their spot for the agreed schedule.
• Infant care is typically the highest weekly rate, with rates adjusting as children get older.
• Part-time schedules, when available, are priced according to the number of days or hours needed.

What your tuition includes:

• Participation in the food program (meals and snacks as appropriate for your child’s age).
• Daily learning activities, toys, and materials tailored to your child’s stage.
• Outdoor play in a safe, supervised yard when weather allows.
• Basic supplies used during the day (for example, wipes for group use and art materials).
• A small-group, home-like environment in a Texas Licensed Home Day Care.

You will receive a clear explanation of your exact weekly rate, due dates, and any additional fees (if applicable) directly from Tammie before you enroll.

Because Tammie's Tots is a small, home-based program with a maximum of 12 children, openings can be limited and may fill quickly.

How to check for openings:

• Call Tammie to ask about current or upcoming spots for your child’s age group.
• If there is an opening that matches your needs, you can schedule a visit and discuss next steps.

Waitlist information:

• If there are no immediate openings, you may be offered a place on the waitlist for a future spot.
• Families on the waitlist are contacted as openings become available, often when older children move on to preschool or kindergarten.

Enrollment forms:

• Once you decide to enroll, you will need to complete the required enrollment and medical forms.
• These forms can be found on the Parent Info page so you can download and fill them out before your child’s start date.

Tammie will walk you through each step of the enrollment process so you know exactly what to expect before your child’s first day.

Every family’s situation is a little different, and Tammie believes in talking directly with parents to make sure the schedule, age group, and rates are a good fit. A quick phone call is the simplest way to learn about current openings, program options for your child’s age, and exact weekly tuition.

When you call, you can ask questions, share your child’s needs and routine, and, if it seems like a good match, plan a time to visit in person.
