Welcome to Little Reds!
Little Reds
Where learning meets play.Little Reds is a co-ed early childhood program created specifically to promote learning through inquiry, discovery, literacy and numeracy. Our classrooms embrace the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which allows for the teacher, child and classroom to work in collaboration to create independent, curious, and joyfully engaged learners.
“Our children are hardwired to be curious. This sense of curiosity and wonder applies not only to the students, but to the teachers as well. Each year, teachers and students embark on a journey together. A journey led by curiosity, interest and occurrences that take place as the journey unfolds.”
- Alice Wetzel, Director of Early Childhood Education
Our Little Reds Preschool program is for children ages 2 - 5 years old and includes a Pre-Kindergarten program for our 4-5 year olds, while our Little Reds Infant/Toddler program is for the tiniest members of our community at 6 weeks to 2 years old.
Our teachers support the growth of the whole child with a focus on 21st century skills. Our educators, starting at the youngest learners who are only a few weeks old, introduce and model skills including independence, confidence, creativity and collaboration. They observe and analyze the interactions of all students, then plan and create a learning environment to guide each student as he or she progresses. This allows our students to have hands-on, authentic learning experiences at all times either in our indoor spaces or in our outdoor classrooms and gardens.
This comprehensive and innovative approach sets our students up for intellectual and personal success by establishing a strong foundation of academics and a love of learning.
