Where your little learner's journey begins
A warm, play-based preschool prep program in Surprise, AZ for little ones ages 2.5β4 β building the academic, social, and emotional skills for a confident start to school.

Hi, I'm Megan Yamauchi β "Ms. Megan"! I'm an experienced teacher with a Master's in Early Childhood Education and nearly 15 years working with children, and I taught in the Dysart and Peoria Unified School Districts before opening The Tot Spot.
I come from a family of educators, and teaching has always felt like a natural calling. I'm also a mom to two little ones β Luke and Lillie β so I know just how precious your kiddos are.
I created The Tot Spot to be a safe, nurturing, education-focused place where little minds can learn, grow, and thrive.
Hands-on, play-based learning that develops the whole child.
Early literacy, pre-writing, letters & numbers, scissor skills, and art exploration.
Kindness, patience, self-regulation, following routines, and expressing feelings.
Just 6 students, with small-group and 1:1 instruction so every child is seen.
A gentle, gradual introduction to a school routine. Potty training encouraged, not required.
A safe, well-maintained, childproofed home environment with a LifeVac on hand.
Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs, or MonβThurs full-time. 8:00β11:30 AM. Aligned to the PUSD calendar.
A consistent routine helps little ones feel secure.
