Choose a Tour Time

Tours are a simple way to see the classroom, meet our team, and ask questions about schedules, tuition, and whether your child is ready. If you don’t see a tour time that works for your family, please call us at 209-295-1230 or email contact@motherlodemountaintots.com and we’ll be happy to help find a time.

A Gentle Place to Begin

Starting preschool is a big step for both children and parents. If you’re wondering whether your child is ready, whether they’ll adjust, or whether preschool is the right fit, a tour is a great place to start.

Wondering if your child is ready?

Every child starts in a different place. Whether your child is 2, 3, or 4, we meet children where they are and help them grow through play, routine, friendship, and hands-on learning.

Nervous about the transition?

That’s completely normal. Many children need time to settle in. Gentle routines, warm connection, and predictable days help children build confidence one step at a time.

Still potty training?

That’s okay. Children do not need to be fully potty trained before starting preschool. We’re happy to talk through where your child is and what support they may need.

Not sure what schedule works?

Preschool does not have to start five days a week. Ask us about available options, part-time schedules, and what might make the most sense for your family.

The easiest next step is to come see the space, ask your questions, and get a feel for whether Mother Lode Mountain Tots is right for your child.
