About Tott’s Early Learning Center in Farmington and Detroit
We are a High Scope Curriculum-based program dedicated to caring for children from ages 2 months to 5 years. Our engaging and welcoming center is open 5 days a week with opportunities for summer camps and after-school programs.
Who We Are
Tott's Early Learning Center was started in 2006 by Wanda Tott-Nathan as an in-home childcare provider. As demand grew, Wanda, and her husband Nate, saw an opportunity to expand their childcare center into the 2 site based program it is today. In this process, it flourished into a family business as their two eldest children turned from students to current employees. Altogether, the Nathan family has worked to address the overwhelming need for childcare in their area.
Wanda and Nate's dedication to providing a safe space for children to explore and grow has created a program where positive experiences help build a lifelong love of learning.

"My daughter currently attends totts learning center and I love and so does she. The owner of the center is an exceptional person, she tried to assist with what she can and offers knowledge on things she can’t. The teachers ms Alyssa, ms Dawn, and Mrs Nancy are all awesome. Thanks for being a part of me and my child’s daily life."
