Welcome to Little Lakers!  

Our school readiness program emphasizes activities in all areas of growth and learning. Research-based High Scope curriculum, implemented in classes, teaches children to initiate, discover, experience, and learn about ideas, events, and people. Children will create, experiment, problem-solve, and resolve conflicts as they learn. This approach enhances each young person's growth in the foundations of academics as well as in social-emotional, physical, and creative areas. The development of each child is discussed with parents/guardians. The program includes a diverse grouping of children reflective of our community and inclusive with early childhood special education. Classes run September to May. Tuition/participation fees are monthly, through arranged payments, or may be reduced or waived depending upon your financial situation. Notification of enrollment: We begin notifying families in mid February and on-going.  Once you receive confirmation of acceptance, there will be a $30 fee to hold your spot.  If classes fill, we keep a wait list and notify families when openings come up.  All families are encouraged to apply as wait lists change frequently.   Applications are accepted on-going.                                                Apply here   (once you have been accepted, connection to the registration forms are at the bottom of this page)
