Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic.

Because we believe each child is born with unique gifts, we daily encourage our students to achieve their highest potential. We focus on self-confidence, effort and determination as these are the first skills needed to develop a successful individual. We lovingly try to provide social, emotional and relational support as children need to feel safe before they can learn. We respect and believe that the family is the most important part of the child’s development. “You are your child’s first teacher” resonates within our environment. Our job is not to replace or challenge you, but to come along side you to learn how we can best support your family. A community benefits when people are willing to contribute to the well being of others. It is our goal to be a positive part of our community. We chose to contribute to our students and their families by providing an environment of respect and dignity. At Advance we feel that a quality education expands opportunities for growth and enhances life.
