Tiny Teach

Founded in 2023, Tiny Teach is dedicated to fostering strong communities, enriching early learning experiences, and empowering families with the knowledge and confidence to support their child's development. Through engaging, play-based sessions, Tiny Teach classes highlight the power of open-ended play in building essential skills, nurturing curiosity, and laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Parenting can feel equal parts beautiful and overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to do your best but aren’t always sure what “best” looks like. The Tiny Teach Toolkit is an online course designed to help you feel calm, connected, and confident in your parenting through a deeper understanding of your child’s development and the power of play.

Tiny Teach is proud to have been named a finalist in the 2025 Local Business Awards (New Business category). This recognition celebrates the passion, play, and strong community connections that are at the heart of everything we do.
