Welcome to pinole tiny tots
Our mission is to provide an affordable, fun, learning experience for the preschool age children in our community and neighboring communities.
The City of Pinole Recreation Department offers two programs for children 3 to 5 years of age. These programs are designed to offer children both a social and educational experience. Activities include age-appropriate academics, crafts, cutting with scissors, using glue, painting, circle time, show & tell, music, science, and story time.
Each Tiny Tots class consists of three 12-week sessions running from late August through early June. We also offer break week camps and weekly summer camps!
All participants must be completely potty-trained (no pull-ups) and provide a birth certificate along with proof of immunization during the first week of class.
A $54.00 non-refundable membership fee is due at the time of registration for each fall – spring session. Proof of residency is required for Pinole resident rates (PG&E bill and driver’s license).
Online payments are accepted.
Sessions
The fall, winter, and spring program is divided into three 12-week sessions. A $54 non-refundable membership fee is due during the registration process for each session. A new registration and membership fee is required for each session a child attends.
Our newly revised summer schedule includes exciting weekly summer camps. We also offer Thanksgiving week camp, winter break week camp, President’s week camp, and spring break week camp. There are no membership fees due for weekly camps.
