" My daughter loves going to tiny toes, she skips in happy and skips out happy. The women are so kind and nuturing, and the curiosity approach really helps the children to learn in a fun way. I love the free-flow set up as my daughter is very independent and I didn't like the idea of her being stuck in 1 room all the time, it's great the children have so much freedom to explore. highly recommend." - Kelly June 2021 -
