Our Out of School Care classroom is an extension of our Tot Spot Academy Program Daycare Curriculum.
Friends that graduate from our Preschool Program are welcome to join us in the Out of School Care program. Out of School care is a great place to connect with friends in the morning for some free play and then head off to school. Kindergarten aged children are picked up at lunch and come back for a nutritious meal. Much like Preschool Program the Out of School Care children engage in periods of structured and unstructured activities until pickup time.
Our full day school children arrive back at Tot Spot Academy in time for an afternoon snack and then engage in interest driven, open ended stations and activities until pickup.
We currently service the following schools:
Via 12 Passenger Van
Via Yellow School Bus

Randall holds both BComm and PMP designations and in addition to his role at Tot Spot, he is currently helping out an e-commerce company called Orderbot as the head of marketing. He has over 20 years of business experience ranging from product management with Electronic Arts, marketing with Deloitte, and as a digital project manager with Yellow Pencil.
He focuses his energy on the business side of Tot Spot Academy and the majority of his work is done behind the scene and after hours. However, Randall wears many hats and you will occasionally find him covering a shift when necessary, performing building maintenance, taking care of the fleet, or begrudgingly being the head of IT. He won’t admit that taking care of kids can be harder than an office job (even though it really is).
