We encourage all little scholars to interact in open indoor and outdoor spaces where they can use their wildest imaginations, be inspired, and create meaningful learning opportunities. Our Little Scholars vision is to provide a family-like environment that focuses on learning, exploring, sustainability, love, and a sense of belonging and happiness for every child who walks through our doors.
We have intentionally designed an oasis for the children to explore, grow, learn, and be inspired daily and no day is the same for our little scholars.

At Little Scholars, we understand how important it is for you to follow the progress of your child’s development.
Throughout the year, your child’s portfolio will be updated daily, and contain journals, photographs, project work and learning stories. You can view your child’s portfolio anytime you visit your child’s studio.
In addition to the portfolio, parents have access to the Little Scholars app. Our parent app provides you with photographs and a summary of your child’s week, documenting your child’s progress so you can see what your child is learning.
