Tutor Time of Ft. Lauderdale is a safe and nurturing environment.
We have highly trained teachers that help children develop socially as well as intellectually, age-specific programs, play places and personal spaces ideal for early childhood education.
Our unique Tutor Time® LifeSmart™ curriculum recognizes that every child learns differently and every child is smart.
Our curriculum is based around the simple idea that all children are smart in their own ways. So our teachers value the uniqueness in each child. They encourage children to explore their own strengths, and progress at their own pace, so they’re proud, not frustrated. Our curriculum is based on extensive research and the work of child development experts, and promotes a lifetime love of learning. It’s the kind of childcare and education you just won’t find anywhere else.
You’ll feel great knowing that your child is in a safe environment, having fun and learning every step of the way.

Classrooms
Infant (6 wks - 12 months)
Infants are constantly growing, learning and changing. So between the cooing and cuddling, our teachers delight in your baby’s every advancement and provide endless opportunities for development and discovery. From rocking and thoughtful interaction, to storytime and naptime, to singing and talking, Tutor Time teachers provide just what your baby needs, all in a safe, clean, and healthy environment!
Toddler (12 - 24 months)
Toddlers are little busybodies. At Tutor Time, that’s okay. We balance individual attention with group activities and ensure that your toddler is using all that energy in productive ways. From trying all the playground equipment to pouring cereal, we give toddlers plenty of opportunities to investigate, explore and play in a safe, secure, yet stimulating environment. Our unique blend of education and care meets emotional needs while promoting good social skills and learning. Our teachers introduce new concepts when your child is ready, not on a set timeline.
Twaddler (2 year olds)
There’s nothing terrible about Twaddlers – they’re just beginning to test their independence, influence and control. At this age, children are making huge strides, and our specially designed program provides lots of guidance along with the independence they crave. Our curriculum nurtures all the different ways that children can be smart - from building an architectural masterpiece to creating an interpretive dance.
Prepper (3 year olds)
As a Prepper, your child is transitioning from a toddler to a preschool student. Chatting with friends increases verbal and social skills. Solving shape puzzles strengthens problem-solving skills, while drawing and painting nurture creativity. Prepper teachers work to foster self-esteem during one-on-one journal time and in group activities. As preparation for moving into our preschool program. We introduce one concept at a time, so your child feels proud, not frustrated. Our curriculum recognizes that there are many different ways to be smart, your child will learn to love learning, and that means your Prepper will really be prepared.
Pre School (4 - 5 years)
Now is the time to truly start discovering the world. What better place to start than at Tutor Time? 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. See how our program provides children with the developmental and educational skills needed for a successful transition into kindergarten and beyond. Grocery shopping in our Tutor Towne™ Village, reading and sharing stories, building models and towers, learning a new dance - all of these are ways to reinforce concepts. And while this is the time that teachers introduce a more structured environment, we still set aside plenty of time for self-directed play and experimentation.
