At Little Lumens, we believe in providing children the opportunities to explore their interests and wants through play. Our unique and innovative curriculum will address your child’s growth in the following areas: Social and Emotional Development: We strive to address emotional competence and ability to form positive relationships that give meaning to children’s experiences in the home, school, and larger community. Language and Communication Development: We focus on children’s understanding and use of language, emerging reading and writing skills, and ability to communicate effectively. Cognitive Development: We highlight children’s ability to understand and think about the physical and social worlds. In particular, we focus on children’s knowledge of objects in the world around them; their mathematical knowledge; numbers and colors, and appreciation of art in their lives. Physical Development and Wellbeing: The ability to engage in daily activities by focusing on children’s physical health. We accomplish our goals by taking into consideration the child’s unique disposition for becoming involved in learning and acquiring knowledge. Our curriculum is written specifically to meet and/or exceed the State of Massachusetts “Early Learning Guidelines for Toddlers and Preschoolers”. A weekly curriculum will be planned based on the educational goals and objectives. Projects, manipulatives, and activities will tie back to the “Guidelines”. Weekly reports will be provided to each family highlighting the activities of the week and how those activities tied back to the stated goals and objectives.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Lancaster, MA

You can also check your options in Lancaster, MA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Lancaster, MA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Lancaster, MA.
