Your school is good. TotSpark will make it better.
The best early childhood schools are dedicated to the ongoing improvement of the school in order to better address the needs of their core constituencies.
TotSpark can help.
The Children
The most important group is the children.
One teacher told us that after using TotSpark with the children in her class, she was on a positive high because of the enthusiasm and delight the children. She was sure they would be telling their parents about their fun experiences and what they had learned.
As we know, children love school when it’s a fun and laughter filled place, where the learning is interesting and engaging, where they’re encouraged to explore and discover, where they can be creative and express their ideas – in other words, a place where they find validation and where they can feel free to be children.
TotSpark helps make early childhood schools effective, joyful, and happy places that children love .

The Parents
As educators, you know that parents want to see their children come home from school happy.
Parents also want to feel that your school is preparing their children for kindergarten by giving them a solid foundation for learning and future success and an excitement and interest in learning. But parents also want their children to be happy. TotSpark supports your efforts in these areas.
Research shows that the best learning takes place when there is a learning goal along with a learning environment that supports fun and child directed exploration and discovery.
With TotSpark, it’s easy to offer this guided play-based learning that gives children the best of what they need.
TotSpark can also be used alongside other materials you may be using.
The Teachers
The most important factor in a child's preschool experience is the teacher. TotSpark not only helps keep good teachers happy, but we also help you keep good teachers.
One of the biggest challenges for early childhood schools is to minimize staff turnover and keep teachers enthusiastic about their jobs. Losing a good teacher upsets the children, the parents, and the school. TotSpark can help schools reduce teacher turnover and keep their best teachers.
How does TotSpark make the teacher's job more rewarding?
We lighten the task of preparation by giving your teachers strong instructional support. We include cues and suggested approaches that make it easy for the teacher to build children's knowledge and skills, to engage them in meaningful conversations, to use open-ended questioning to encourage problem solving, and to provide play-based fun learning.
Our play learning tools are easy for the teacher to use, to expand, and to build upon. They complement other materials the school might use and they also lend themselves to various learning styles and developmental levels. They can be used effectively with individual children one-on-one, in small groups, or independently by the children.
Most important is the teacher's feedback from the children, from experiencing their enthusiasm, engagement and their fun while using TotSpark. Teachers have reported that after using TotSpark and seeing the children’s enjoyment and learning, they felt a renewed effectiveness and sense of achievement as a teacher.
