We are Busy Laughing & Learning at Little Scholars
Our Philosophy
Our mission is to provide a solid foundation that is based on an enriched academic curriculum together with natural learning through free play. We are firm believers that the most important time in a child’s life is from birth through 5 years of age. We provide a high-quality program that fosters your child’s journey for future academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. We have created fun and interactive child-centered classrooms and include math magic, reading literacy, science, foreign language, music, and art.
We provide a secure learning environment that encourages the development of the whole child.
We help each child to develop self-confidence, self-respect, and challenge themselves, which leads to secure and independent thinking skills. We strive to encourage children to develop decision-making and problem-solving skills all while in a secure and nurturing environment. We instill positive values in the lives of children by encouraging conflict resolution and develop camaraderie among their peers. This develops a bond that will forever be an essential tool for life. Our classroom centers are warm and welcoming, with creative activities that make learning fun and exciting.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum at Little Scholars is specifically designed to meet the needs of each child throughout their developmental stages.
Our age-appropriate interactive centers foster a love for learning while engaging children in a variety of hands-on learning experiences and social interactions. Incorporating piano lessons in our curriculum further enhances the development of the brain. Music and Art enrich the creative and artistic talents of children. An introduction to Spanish and Mandarin, adds an opportunity for linguistic acquisition.
These are just a few of the many activities that enrich the children’s experiences at Little Scholars. Our program is based on the “High Scope Common Core” curriculum-aligned preschool approach to early childhood education. It encourages the development of problem-solving skills, independence, ability to question, and explore their surroundings as they develop a love for learning in a fun environment.
Our STEAM program includes science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Early literacy begins at the Tiny Toddler level and continues throughout our Pre-K Program. The High Scope and the NYS Pre-K Standards further enrich our curriculum.
