Health and Fitness

At Little Learners Academy, we believe that the health of our children is of utmost importance. According to the CDC, "childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years" leading to many other health problems for our kids later in life. We engage our students in daily exercises. Exercise for children means playing and being physically active. Kids exercise when they're at recess, riding bikes, or playing tag. Kids that are engaged in regular vigorous activities will have stronger bones and muscles as well as a decreased risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

*Physical activity decreases restlessness!*

Spanish Lessons

Teaching infants, toddlers, and preschoolers foreign languages will provide them with invaluable advantages, both now and for the future. By starting second-language education early, teachers can take advantage of the extensive brain development that occurs when students are in and around preschool age. Second-language lessons are highly useful in promoting development and enhancing cognitive abilities. Studies have shown that young children who learn second languages often score higher on standardized tests, such as the SAT.

With all of the benefits of teaching a foreign language, Little Learners Academy implements Spanish lessons into the daily curriculum. We want to ensure that our students have the opportunity to reach their full potential and become life-long learners.

The Differences of Little Learners Academy

Our goal at Little Learners Academy is to capture a world of wonder where curiosity and creativity is promoted, all while discovering and exploring the world around us. The children are exposed to subjects such as math, science, social studies, the arts, and technology.
