Program Information
    :
  At The Little School, guidance is always approached with a solid understanding a child's developmental abilities and needs, and with respect for each child's self-confidence and self-esteem. Teachers provide guidance that helps children learn to make their own decisions and control their own actions. At The Little School, discipline and guidance meet these important goals: keeping children safe; promoting children's sense of self; helping children to learn self-control. To accomplish these goals, we use a variety of approaches including prevention, positive redirection, modeling, setting limits, and problem solving. We help children recogize and process their feelings, recognize consequences, and explore alternative solutions.       :
  For over three decades, The Little School has provided the highest quality early education in in an inclusive setting. Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), The Little School offers a nurturing, playful and creative environment for young children ages two through five years old. Program goals and curriculum promote the emotional, social, cognitive aand physical development of each child, taking into consideration each child's unique abilities, beliefs and learning styles. Teachers develop curriculum that is responsive to children's interests and needs, and includes a balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities that motivate children to explore and learn. At The Little School, children learn actively through play, social interaction and experimentation. Our educational philosophy is based on our belief that children learn best in the context of warm, supportive relationships, and that strong connections between school and families are essential for children's learning and development. Our program includes: art; dramatic play; sand/water play; music; math; social studies; science; story time and literacy. Every day offers a routine that includes a balance of active and quiet experiences, outdoor play, circle time, snack time, lunch and rest.
