NAEYC Accredited
The School for Little Children has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Youth Children (NAEYC) since 1987. NAEYC is the largest accreditation body for early childhood programs in the United States. NAEYC accreditation is a voluntary program that raises the quality of early childhood practices beyond the state standards. For more information about this accreditation, visit the NAEYC website.
The School for Little Children offers a number of different programs to suit the needs of different families.
Our Mothers Day Out program is a two-day-per-week program that serves children aged 15 months through 2 1/2 years. We have three classes that fall into this category. Our Monday/Tuesday class meets from 9:00a.m. – Noon on Mondays and from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. This class is specifically tailored for children 15-23 months of age. Our two-year-old classes meet Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday from 9:00a.m.-Noon and 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., respectively. Two teachers serve in each classroom to provide students with personal attention and support.
Older children, from 2 1/2 years through Pre-Kindergarten students can take part in our longer programs. Class hours are 9:00 a.m. until Noon.
Stay and Play is an optional program that extends the childs day here until 2:00 p.m. It is a relaxed, fun time where children bring their lunch. Our teachers and regular substitutes staff the program. Children do not nap, but our license requires that we provide a brief rest time. Tuesday is the Stay and Play day for Monday/Tuesday classes. Children enrolled in turning-three classes are not included until after Christmas. Thursday is the Stay and Play day for three-day classes. Five-day classes may stay on Tuesday initially and then on Tuesday and/or Thursday beginning in the middle of October of each school year. Children who attend Stay and Play must be reliably toilet trained. The fee is $15 per session and may be paid weekly or included with your tuition payment.
