The Little Scholars early childhood development program is designed for families with children ages 3-5. In the classes, parents will interact with their children and the staff to learn important milestones in child development and techniques to bring more singing, reading, and language into the home. Afternoon appointments (1:00-4:00pm) are also available with our Little Scholars staff to help new families looking for additional assistance.
