Director's Comments
Our objective is to provide an environment where each child is challenged to gain knowledge and develop their skills through pre-planned hands on positive learning experiences.
All of our pre-k children are tracked and assisted in gaining the skills and knowledge that are necessary to enter kindergarten . We offer a full kindergarten readiness program which includes hands-on small group instruction and interaction several times per week.
We believe that social skills, self esteem and autonomy is vital to a successful entry into kindergarten. We focus on all of the developmental areas.
The feedback that we receive from kindergarten teachers and administrators in the area is positive as it relates to the readiness of the children who are promoted from our school to kindergarten.

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I think the curriculum is preparing my son for academic and social success in kindergarte.
Parent #2
The curriculum at Little Lamb is wonderful. All very age appropriate and the teachers really encourage the kids to participate whether its counting, saying the alphabet, singing songs, story-telling, etc. It's a nice balance of academic instruction, art and play.

Being Savvy Today
On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
