Little Lambs
preschool
At Little Lambs, we recognize that each child is an individual. We have designed our curriculum with a wide range of activities to meet the children’s needs in a creative, caring, fun, and faith-filled environment. Classes offer age-appropriate learning experiences which center around our love for children. We encourage and support the development of each child to his/her fullest potential intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually.

Toddler Class
Toddler Class – Students 12-24 months. Meets Monday mornings from 8:45 am – 11:30 am. There is the option of adding an additional day, beginning in November. The emphasis is on providing students with a positive, happy experience while playing in a cooperative manner. The curriculum is based on monthly themes that include: colors, shapes, weather, and holidays. Activities help develop large and fine motor skills through creative play, craft projects, fingerplays, books, and music with movement.
