Our Programs

  • Our primary goals for our infant and toddler programs are to provide a loving and nurturing environment suitable for infant growth and development while promoting fine motor, gross motor, language, social, and emotional skills. We hope to develop a partnership with parents that serve in the best interest of the children.

  • Our Young Preschooler program offers a balanced, developmentally appropriate experience that supports whole-child growth through purposeful, play-based activities, helping children build social, emotional, language, and cognitive skills as they explore and make sense of the world.

  • The Littlehouse Prep School’s Preschool and Accelerated Pre-K programs provide a warm, engaging, print-rich learning environment where children build friendships, strengthen early literacy and thinking skills, and develop a lifelong love of learning through purposeful, age-appropriate activities that prepare them for kindergarten.
