Where Play Meets Purpose
At Little Learning Academy, we believe that childhood is not a race but a journey. We offer a safe, joyful, and enriching space where children can be curious, confident, and fully themselves! Through hands-on discovery, meaningful play, and real relationships, we nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, academically, and creatively.
Each day at LLA is built around responsive teaching, exploration, and connection. From nature walks to building robots out of recycled treasures, from group story times to quiet reflective moments, our children grow through play, that is guided by skilled and caring educators who truly see them.
We prioritize emotional wellness, self-expression, and communication. Our days are filled with wonder, songs, questions, friendships, and laughter—all rooted in a curriculum that supports STEAM learning.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
★To grow strong, kind humans.
★To partner with families.
★To build community.
★To foster a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
We’re not here to rush milestones. We’re here to celebrate them!

Kristin K2025-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is our 3rd daycare/preschool for our daughter and by far the ABSOLUTE BEST. The staff and owner truly do care about the children like family. We have experienced a school that claimed to do this, but here you can actually feel it. Our prior preschool refused to allow an appropriate size potty seat for the littles forcing them to use an adult seat. This caused our child major potty set backs despite multiple meetings with the staff/owner. LLA fixed that in a flash! One short discussion, one week and our daughter was back on track. They took the time to learn how my daughter thinks and very quickly came up with a plan based on her! The curriculum at this school is top notch. From “mindful moments” to enriching engagement our daughter is growing in leaps and bounds. LLA engulfs your child in age appropriate learning. One of my favorite things about this school is the indoor gym! If it’s raining, or too hot/cold outside… no problem! The kiddos can run around and play in the gym. LLA creates a welcoming community for both the children and the parents. We came to LLA due to a relocation and enrolling our child at LLA was the best decision we ever made. Elyse Wilson2024-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an educator myself, we are very happy with our choice to enroll our child in LLA! We love the staff, faculty, and community. They use a great curriculum that supports skills and social emotional learning combined with themed days and also room for free play. Thanks for being a great option in the area. Tiffany P2023-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our little one loved his time at LLA for summer camp fun! Luca Decotiis2022-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful environment and staff! Thank you so much for all that you do for all of the children! Anyone that says otherwise, must reflect on their own parenting skills! Keep up your genuine care , we deeply appreciate. Great job! Jennifer Lombardo2018-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've had our son at LLA for over a year now and could not be happier. The staff genuinely love the children and take special attention in getting to know them and their families. I am amazed at how much my son has grown while being here, and am always excited to see each month's calendar (packed with both fun and enriching activities for the kids). We are so fortunate to have found LLA for our little guy. Robert L. Penrose2018-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Almost 2 years at LLA. Very happy with the level of service and care. All of the teachers have been attentive and patient with our son. We look forward to sending our daughter here soon. Debbie does a great job at running the school and is always developing ideas for activities and improvements. Having owned an education center myself in the past I would have to say that I am impressed with the atmosphere and professionalism at LLA. Highly recommended.
