about us

Little Children Schoolhouse was built on the idea of providing a nurturing, loving environment for children - an extension of each child's home and family life. Our professional experiences prepared us for working with children, but sharing the bonds of family has allowed us to create a warm, home-like experience for our students and their families. It is our joy to create a school that is a community within a community, where students, parents and staff form an extended family.
