Where Play Meets Purpose
At Little Learning Academy, we believe that childhood is not a race but a journey. We offer a safe, joyful, and enriching space where children can be curious, confident, and fully themselves! Through hands-on discovery, meaningful play, and real relationships, we nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, academically, and creatively.
Each day at LLA is built around responsive teaching, exploration, and connection. From nature walks to building robots out of recycled treasures, from group story times to quiet reflective moments, our children grow through play, that is guided by skilled and caring educators who truly see them.
We prioritize emotional wellness, self-expression, and communication. Our days are filled with wonder, songs, questions, friendships, and laughter—all rooted in a curriculum that supports STEAM learning.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
★To grow strong, kind humans.
★To partner with families.
★To build community.
★To foster a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
We’re not here to rush milestones. We’re here to celebrate them!
