Little City Kids goal is to create pathways that lead children to develop positive attitudes toward themselves and toward everything associated with learning. We want to help build a creative foundation for a lifetime of learning. We help kids develop self-confidence; positive self-image; problem solving, social interaction, self-expression and good communication skills; creative expression; curiosity; persistence; initiative; and the ability to concentrate and organize.

Our program provides stimulation for large and small muscle development, as well as intellectual and social development. The children experience both active and quiet activities, both in groups and independently, indoors and out. Our classroom embraces multi-culturalism, and delves into the fields of mathematics, the sciences, and the arts, including performance arts, music and visual arts.

We have developed our own proprietary curriculum, while incorporating the philosophies of many great educators, including Maria Montessori, Friedrich Froebel, as well as concepts from the Reggio Emilio philosophy of early childhood education.

Routines such as toileting and eating and transitions between activities are planned to avoid keeping children waiting in lines or assembled in large groups. Our program provides enough structure so that the children are able to feel secure in their routines, with regularity in eating, napping, and organization of activities. This helps to prevent both excess fatigue and over-stimulation. All of our students receive daily one-on-one attention.

Little City Kids is focused on promoting and developing positive social skills. Building trusting relationships with peers and adults is very important. Each child is given individual attention based on his or her own needs. Our Imagination-Station-based program is designed to allow children to learn and grow at their own pace. With the children's guidance, we are able to meet the needs of each child's developmental level.
