Established in 1998, Little Lambs strives to provide a quality education for children in order to prepare them for school years ahead, academically, socially and spiritually. Little Lambs strives to provide opportunities for children to learn in many ways. Programming encourages respect of others while fostering a sense of responsibility for oneself and individual actions that helps prepare each child for the school years ahead.
