Preschool (3 - 4 years old)
Now is the time to truly start discovering the world. What better place to start than at Tutor Time in Norwalk? Our exclusive Tutor Time® LifeSmart™ curriculum was designed to encourage exploration and embrace all the different ways that children excel. Aligned with standards set forth by national accrediting associations, this curriculum helps children expand on their own unique gifts or “smarts.” And it works: a recent kindergarten readiness study showed that in just six months, children in our program made educational gains usually expected after a full year.

Miss Lexy
Team Member Since- November 2007
I'm a Pre-School teacher in the Village Classroom. I've been working at Tutor Time for four years. I love my room because it's so different and fun. Only Tutor Time has a Village Classroom with the learning centers located inside the individual child size houses. The children love coming into the Village and pretending to be different people. My favorite activities to do with the children are reading stories and art. They are so interested in finding out what happens at the end of the story. I enjoy having the children create art projects with me that decorate my classroom for each season. When I'm not at Tutor Time I am spending time with my family.

Pre-School Parent Testimonials
"My son has a better vocabulary, knows his ABC's and 123's. He can spell, do math, speaks Spanish, and is extremely creative because he goes to Tuor Time. At age 3 1/2 he is way ahead of his peers who don't attend Tutor Time."
