"I have been a part of The Tot Spot family since the doors opened. At the time I was a stay at home mother of 17 month old twin girls, and I was looking for something for all of us to get involved in. I knew right away that the owners were special people and I had finally found the right place. My twins have grown so much in every way, and all three of us continue to grow and learn together. We look forward each week to our time at The Tot Spot. We all have made lifelong friends and truly feel as if we have another family."

"The Tot Spot has done absolute wonders for my family! Before my children began taking Dr. Jennifer Santos' classes, and had been exposed to this wonderful play facility, I was really concerned about their overall social development and life skills. My son was having trouble in pre-school, and my daughter was lacking socialization. As soon as they began their classes over the summer, I was amazed! I really noticed the gradual positive development in my children that the Tot Spot's philosophy had influenced. The play to learn class, "Totgaroo" has sparked my daughter's love of learning through art, music and sensory activities that follow a beautiful curriculum which is well balanced and completely captivating! My son loves the Tot Scientist and Tot Chef classes because he really "becomes" a scientist or a chef for an afternoon. They go beyond what any typical classroom could ever offer and have increased his pride and determination in everything he does. Overall, I am so proud to be a member of "The Tot Family." What a wonderful place to educate your child in a colorful, friendly environment that is so hard to find in this crazy world. Thank you Jennifer, for your fantastic creation!"

"I was a Music Together “groupie” in New Jersey. My family and I relocated to Jacksonville in the Fall of 2006. I was disheartened when I learned that there were no MT classes here. I kept checking the website and was delighted when I saw “The Tot Spot.” We immediately signed up. I was excited to be able to experience Music Together again. But, what I got was so much more. The Tot Spot is an amazing place. Not only are age-appropriate music, auditory, pre-academic and life skills reinforced in a loving environment, but it is a safe, warm place for families to connect. As my family and I were new in town, TTS provided us the opportunities to meet other parents while my daughter got to practice making friends and learning to play! I am a speech-language pathologist by trade, and I now encourage parents of both special needs and typically developing children to take advantage of such a wonderful resource in our community. Kudos to Jennifer and all the Tot Spot family for creating such an amazing place for our children (and parents) to “learn to play” and “play to learn.”

"Fireman Jacob, Doctor Jacob, Daddy Jacob...my 3 and half year old loves to pretend. And he gets plenty of opportunity at the Tot Spot. It's becoming a favorite hangout. So once a week, we go to play. Sometimes for hours on end. One of my friend's jokes it is becoming our second home! Jacob and my 15 month old baby girl, Sophia, find boundless ways to entertain themselves. The toys spark creativity and imagination. Jennifer's play leaders also engage the kids, making it easy for me to keep them both happy and safe. Over the summer, Sophie and I sampled Jennifer's Music Together class as well. Her enthusiasm for the material and interest in the kids were obvious. Jennifer's cheerful manner and constant smile make all feel welcome, a part of her "Tot Spot Family."
