Little Giants Learning Academy (LGLA): Making Every Step Exciting

Essential to future development, these early years of education provide the tools and momentum for lifelong cognitive, social, and learning capabilities. At LGLA, we know that small measures now add up to great successes later.

Our mission is to grow strong thinkers by mapping out a developmental path to learning that builds confidence and interdependence. Our vision is to create a nurturing environment that allows children, educators, and administrative staff to succeed at all levels.

Philosophy

We believe education is the root to success: To grow children into their unique greatness, LGLA focuses on building confidence, fostering interdependence, and creating developmentally appropriate paths to learning. Following the Creative Curriculum, LGLA promotes a nurturing environment for children, families, educators, and staff—so all can succeed.

Staff

LGLA brings licensed, experienced professionals together to help your children grow strong, with educators and staff who also are largely bilingual. As children learn Creative Curriculum mainstays, they also gain proficiency of key Spanish words and phrases at a time when their brains are most welcoming and adaptive of a dual-language approach.

Health & Safety

Health & Safety

Lead teachers and administrators are certified in CPR and First Aid. Key fobs are required for entrance. Rooms and toys are cleaned thoroughly throughout each day, with deep disinfecting happening several times weekly. Further, initial employment and continuing education requirements include health, safety, nutrition, trauma and other pertinent topics.

All caregivers must complete 24 in-service hours of professional development every calendar year in topics relevant to their positions (child development and learning; family/community collaboration; program management; and more).
