The first five years of childhood are the most important to set a strong foundation for learning.  Our educational curriculum, based on the nationally acclaimed, research-based High/Scope Curriculum , is designed to help each child reach their fullest potential.   Through active learning, children at Little Lambs can act on their innate desire to explore and interact with the world around them.  Our curriculum guides children’s learning from infancy through pre-school and is cognitively oriented to prepare children for future academic experiences.   In addition, we design learning activities to enable each child to progress at their own pace in the areas of social, emotional, and spiritual growth.  We go beyond academics to help children acquire self-esteem, self-reliance, problem-solving, conflict-resolution skills, and empathy for others. 

Our Christian foundation, which includes introduction to prayer, Bible stories, music, and worship, is a unique aspect of the Little Lambs program.  In addition to daily meal time grace and prayer within the classroom, our Preschool and Pre-K classrooms are provided with rich Bible stories that prepare children for our intimate Godly Play curriculum for bi-weekly spiritual exploration and faithful discovery. Godly Play is taught by the Director of Children’s Ministry at Christ Church Cranbrook. 

At Little Lambs, we welcome all children without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, or ancestry.  Children with special needs will be accepted on the basis of our ability to successfully meet that child’s needs.
