Little Learners Preschool and Academy

6400 S. 70th St. Lincoln, NE

8 mi

Little Learners is an academic-based, Christian preschool with before and after care. We offer a unique variety of activities and experiences that are intended to encourage exploration and growth spiritually, socially, physically and cognitively. Our class schedule runs from 8:45-11:45 a.m. each morning for all classes/students or 8:45-2:45 p.m. for students in our Thriving Three's and Fantastic Four's &amp; Five's classes. Our families can choose a 2-day (Tuesday/Thursday), 3-day (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) or 5-day (Monday-Friday) program. Our Extended Care is offered before and after class. Extended Care is a drop-in service, and students are only charged for the time they are in Extended Care. There are no date or time commitments necessary. Extended Care hours are 7:30-8:45 a.m. and 11:45-5:30 p.m. Our students can join us ANY afternoon for Extended Care, whether they have class that day or not. For those joining us for lunch, it is necessary to pack a sack lunch for your child. We have a refrigerator and microwave to make lunch more enjoyable. (Not every child likes sandwiches!) : ) Our curriculum is centered around an exploratory, hands-on approach. Our goal is to create interest in all areas of academics through a variety of activities. We do very little worksheets. Instead, we offer tactile means to explore the various academic concepts. Our reading program is developed to encourage emergent readers. When teaching letters and letter sounds, we present each letter in a whole-word format. We do NOT isolate letters in a letter-of-the-week program. That has proven to make it very difficult for preschoolers to learn how to read. Sight words are posted on our words walls as they are learned and reviewed. As a Christian preschool, we have developed our own Bible curriculum centered around a Character Trait and Bible verse each month. All of the lessons and Bible stories are centered around that character trait. This affords the teachers, as well as the students, many ways to directly implement that month's trait in the classroom. We are happy to give tours to any interested preschool families. Don't hesitate to call, email, or text us at 402.840.1196, or email us at director@mylittlelearners.com. We have a warm and loving staff that would welcome your child, as well as your whole family, to Little Learners Christian Preschool
