Since opening our doors in  April 2000, the Tot Spot's goal has always been to grow enough to offer our students the best possible programs, but to remain small enough to ensure a caring environment with the most personal  learning experience possible.   One of  our main operating ideas is that  children need and thrive on consistency. Whether your child begins our programs at 3months or 3 years,  you may be guaranteed that he or she will be offered the same loving and experienced educators throughout.  We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to ...

Ms. Lori, Owner/Operator of Tot Spot; Kindermusik and MusikGarten ; Beginning Drawing 

Hi! My name is Ms Lori  and I would like to share a little about myself with you -

Musical Experience/Training: I have spent much of my life in musical performance. As a child I sang often in both church and school choirs, as well as in various local productions. I received  vocal training as a member of middle school, high school and college choral groups. I played clarinet in both high school and college. I am a fully trained, certified and licensed Kindermusik Educator,  a trained, certified and licensed MusikGarten teacher, and a  proud member of the National Association of Teacher's of Singing (NATS).

Education and Child Development Experience: I have always enjoyed working with children, so while obtaining my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Radford University in Radford, Virginia,  I also completed a thematic sequence in Child Development. As a personal refresher, I recently completed correspondence courses in both early childhood development and childcare fundamentals.
