Why choose to work with us?

In the dynamic landscape of early childhood education, fostering holistic development in young children is paramount. Incorporating extracurricular activities not only enriches their educational experience but also nurtures their physical, social, and emotional growth. One such program, the Tiny Toes Dance, offers a unique blend of creativity, inclusivity, and developmental alignment, making it an ideal addition to childcare centers.

1. Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum: The cornerstone of the Tiny Toes Dance program lies in its developmentally appropriate curriculum. Recognizing that each child progresses at their own pace, the program mirrors their current learning stage. From basic motor skills to spatial awareness and rhythm, every activity is tailored to meet the diverse needs of young learners. By aligning with early childhood developmental milestones, Tiny Toes Dance seamlessly integrates into existing educational frameworks, enhancing rather than disrupting the learning process.
2. Inclusive Classes: Inclusivity is at the heart of the Tiny Toes Dance ethos. Regardless of ability, background, or experience, every child is welcomed with open arms. Through carefully crafted activities and a supportive environment, children of all abilities can participate and thrive. Inclusive classes not only promote empathy and understanding but also empower children to celebrate diversity and embrace differences—a vital lesson in today's interconnected world.
3. Creative Expression: Dance is a powerful medium for creative expression, allowing children to unleash their imagination and communicate in non-verbal ways. The Tiny Toes Dance program encourages self-expression through movement, music, and storytelling. By fostering creativity, children develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and a deeper appreciation for the arts. Moreover, creative expression transcends boundaries, enabling children to explore their identity and forge connections with peers.
4. Physical Fitness and Well-being: In an era dominated by screens and sedentary lifestyles, promoting physical activity is more important than ever. The Tiny Toes Dance program provides a fun and engaging way for children to stay active and develop gross motor skills. Through dance routines, games, and exercises, children improve coordination, balance, and strength—all while having a blast. By instilling healthy habits from a young age, childcare centers contribute to the overall well-being of children and lay the foundation for a lifetime of fitness.
5. Family Engagement: Childcare centers play a pivotal role in building strong partnerships with families. The Tiny Toes Dance program offers a unique opportunity for family engagement through performances and weekly updates with pictures, videos, and notes. Parents, caregivers, and siblings are invited to witness the progress and achievements of their little dancers, fostering a sense of community and pride. Family involvement not only strengthens the bond between home and childcare but also reinforces the value of lifelong learning and shared experiences.
6. Financial Incentives: In recognition of the mutual benefits derived from hosting the Tiny Toes Dance program, childcare centers are eligible for a 10% kickback on program revenues. This financial incentive not only offsets hosting costs but also serves as a sustainable revenue stream for centers. By investing in quality extracurricular programs like Tiny Toes Dance, childcare centers demonstrate their commitment to providing enriching experiences for children while ensuring financial viability.
   
7. Safety, Training, and Documentation: At Tiny Toes Dance, the safety and well-being of our participants are our top priorities. We are proud to affirm that all our staff members undergo rigorous training in our curriculum, ensuring that they are fully equipped to deliver high-quality dance education to children. Additionally, each staff member undergoes comprehensive background checks, including TB tests, sworn statements, and Virginia Department of Social Services (VADSS) checks, to guarantee their suitability for working with children. We maintain proof of insurance to provide an added layer of protection for our participants and staff. Our commitment to transparency extends to providing access to all relevant files online through our password-protected page, allowing childcare centers and parents to verify our credentials and compliance with safety standards. By adhering to these stringent measures, Tiny Toes Dance ensures a safe and secure environment for children to explore the joy of dance while providing peace of mind to parents and childcare centers alike.
