Our Educational Philosophy
Little Lambs Preschool provides a unique play-based learning environment with the Mother Goose Time curriculum.
Our nurturing and Bible-based program unfolds the authentic spirit and character of each child while educating their hearts and minds. Our teachers prepare children to learn confidently for the rest of their lives and to give generously and joyfully to others.
Our curriculum focuses on activity-based settings in a diverse and co-educational community that emphasizes responsibility, stimulates collaboration, and promotes mutual respect.
Research-based approach to learning
The Experience Curriculum from Mother Goose Time applies child development theories and brain research to a unique model of teacher support, child experience and family engagement.
Your child is an active participant in education
As children express interests, teachers adapt learning experiences to embrace and further these interests. Our activities and projects provoke creative thinking and are simply a starting point for a child’s imagination.
Adaptive learning
Teachers adapt learning experiences based on observation to support a child’s intellectual and social growth. Learning is a social process based on trust, respect and encouragement. A teacher is an observer, supporter, and guide that brings wisdom and thoughtfulness to the child’s unique intellectual exploration.
Environment is the third teacher
Children construct knowledge by exploring their environment. They collect information and learn about the topic through hands-on discovery and investigation. Throughout the day, children are exposed to books, play-based activities, and materials that reinforce the topic of the day.

Yes! It is our goal to keep each child with a food allergy safe and to honor identified food restrictions to best of our ability. In order to best meet the children’s special dietary needs, it is essential that the center staff and parents work closely together. Parents should discuss it with the Director and the child’s teachers upon enrollment. Parents must submit written documentation with specific guidelines for addressing each special type of dietary need and/or food allergy.
The toys and classrooms are sanitized in the beginning of the day, as well as at the end of the day. Teachers follow a detailed checklist and sign off upon cleaning. Toys and surface areas are sanitized by the mandated 1:9 ratio bleach to water solution.
