The curriculum begins as early as 6 weeks old and is tiered as children grow, with full-day programming that prepares children for school and includes healthy, USDA-approved daily meals such as breakfast, lunch, and a snack.

Cleanliness protocols include industry-grade cleaning solutions and practices, and access to facilities is strictly limited to authorized personnel and approved family members.
Little Scholars Early Learning Center was founded in 1993 and has been trusted by families for over 30 years. Its mission is to provide affordable, high-quality childcare that serves a diverse community of children and families.
