We provide a tailored educational experience that addresses each child's unique needs.
Toddler Program
- Our Toddler Program is designed for children ages **18 months to 2 years**, providing a nurturing and engaging environment where curiosity is encouraged, confidence is built, and learning happens through exploration and play. During this exciting stage of development, children participate in structured, hands-on learning experiences that strengthen both **fine and gross motor skills**, while supporting language development, early communication, and hand-eye coordination. Our teachers create meaningful activities that encourage toddlers to listen, explore, problem-solve, and interact with the world around them. As toddlers become more independent, our program focuses on fostering self-help skills, social-emotional development, and positive relationships with peers and teachers. Through developmentally appropriate instruction and individualized support, each child is encouraged to learn at their own pace while building the confidence and foundational skills needed for a successful transition into preschool. At Little Scholars Academy, our experienced educators understand that every child develops differently. We provide a warm, supportive environment that meets each toddler where they are, helping them grow into confident, capable, and enthusiastic learners.
Preschool Program
- Our Preschool Program is designed for children ages 3 to 4 years, a remarkable stage when curiosity flourishes, confidence grows, and a lifelong love of learning begins to take shape. Through engaging, hands-on experiences, children develop the academic, social, and emotional skills that prepare them for Pre-K and future school success. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum introduces children to foundational concepts in: * Early Literacy and Language Development * Pre-Reading and Pre-Writing Skills * Mathematics * Science and Discovery * Technology and Computer Exploration * Creative Arts * Music and Movement * Social-Emotional Learning Each day is filled with purposeful learning opportunities that encourage children to ask questions, solve problems, express their creativity, and work collaboratively with their peers. Our experienced teachers create an interactive classroom environment where learning is meaningful, engaging, and tailored to each child's individual developmental needs. The preschool years are a time of tremendous growth in language, critical thinking, independence, and social development. During this important stage, children strengthen communication skills, build positive relationships, develop self-confidence, and learn to become responsible members of a classroom community. We believe that families are essential partners in every child's educational journey. Through ongoing communication and regular developmental assessments, our teachers work closely with parents to celebrate each child's progress and support their continued growth. At Little Scholars Academy, our Preschool Program provides the strong academic and social foundation children need to transition confidently into Pre-K, kindergarten, and beyond.
School Age
- Little Scholars Academy understands that many parents have to go to work early or stay later than the traditional workday. As such, we offer these parents and their children a safe haven, a place that expands the boundaries of education and nurturing. We provide transportation to and from school, homework assistance, morning and afternoon snacks, and other fun, educational activities. Our programs for school-age children support their desire to learn by providing new opportunities to help them explore. The center provides a safe environment for after-school, supervised care, recognizing the need of kids following a busy school day. Our energetic and creative teachers understand how to involve the various elementary school ages and activities that are fun and engaging for their particular grade level.
- Quiet time and opportunities for doing homework are also provided to assist students with academics. School-age children up to 12 years old can enroll in our before- and after-school care programs, backup care for school holidays and school closings, and summer day camp programs. We are the ideal alternative when you do not want to leave your child at home alone before or after school.

Children strengthen essential school-readiness skills in: * Early Literacy, Reading, and Writing * Language and Communication * Mathematics and Problem Solving * Science, Discovery, and Inquiry * Social Studies * STEAM Learning * Technology Integration * Creative Arts and Music * Social-Emotional Development Through teacher-guided instruction, collaborative small-group activities, and independent learning centers, children are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, solve problems, and become confident learners.
