About the Program

Children’s earliest years are the most important and impressionable in their lives. In that context, Little Cubs Early Learning Center is dedicated to providing the highest quality of early-childhood education experience.

Our teachers will engage children in an enriching and developmentally appropriate emergent, play-based learning curriculum and related activities. We will strive to instill a foundation that inspires a lifelong love of learning, confidence, and care for others.

We believe that the core of early-childhood learning is relationship based. Through our play-based curriculum, we work to build positive and trusting relationships with children in our care. This approach is executed with carefully constructed and purposeful play, encouraging our young learners to explore, discover, and problem solve as critical thinkers.

Our Program & Facilities

On a secure campus, in a park-like setting that includes a new playground and ample outdoor play space, the coeducational program will be administered and staffed by experienced Early Childhood Education professionals as well as an on-site nurse. Music, dance, and other activities will take place in our on-campus gym.

In its home-like building, Little Cubs Early Learning Center will include classrooms for all ages and stages of early-childhood development. Each classroom will be equipped with developmentally appropriate materials to enable engaging and stimulating learning.

These young movers and explorers are immersed in a safe and engaging environment to discover and play. They transition to a more structured schedule that enables them to navigate the world around them with ease.

These young learners will engage in a dynamic daily routine that engages all of the developmental domains. The primary focus will center on confidence building and promoting independence.
