About Us

A Place Where Every Child Belongs

Tiny Tot Early Head Start was founded on a simple belief: the earliest years shape everything that follows. Located in the heart of Lexington, North Carolina, we offer a nurturing, home-like environment where infants and toddlers thrive through play-based exploration and guided discovery.

Our trained caregivers understand that young children learn best when they feel secure, respected, and encouraged. That's why we focus on building warm, responsive relationships with every child and family — because early education is as much about heart as it is about hands-on learning.

Our Programs

Programs Designed for
Every Stage of Early Growth

From those first wobbly steps to pre-kindergarten readiness, each program is thoughtfully structured to meet children right where they are.

Infant Care

Ages 6 weeks – 12 months. Gentle, responsive care that supports bonding, sensory development, and the rapid growth of those first precious months.

  • Individualized feeding & sleep routines
  • Tummy time & motor skill support
  • Safe, cozy, and stimulating environment

Toddler Program

Ages 12 months – 3 years. Active, curious explorers need space to move, experiment, and learn through guided play — and we provide exactly that.

  • Language & social skill development
  • Creative arts & sensory activities
  • Outdoor play & gross motor skills

Pre-Kindergarten Prep

Ages 3 – 5 years. Building the academic, social, and emotional foundations that make kindergarten feel like a natural next step — not a leap.

  • Early literacy & numeracy introduction
  • Structured group learning & cooperation
  • School-readiness skill building

Infant program

"My son started at Tiny Tot as a shy 18-month-old. Within months, he was singing songs, sharing toys, and counting blocks. The curriculum here is real — and the teachers make it feel like play. We couldn't be happier."
