Little House Playschool

by Little House Playschool
Ages 3–12

Little House Playschool is all about messy, silly, playful fun. Children spend their days outdoors, digging in the mud, splashing in sprinklers, and exploring water play whenever possible. With a mixed-age environment spanning pre-K and kindergarten to elementary after school and summer camps, children practice vital social and emotional skills while enjoying a family-like community fostering cooperation and camaraderie. Activities include arts and crafts, painting, tie-dye, and creative projects, as well as imaginative games with pirates, fairies, and dragons. Sports, field games, and silly slip-n-slides keep everyone moving, while quieter activities like story weaving, puzzles, and dress-up corners allow time for imagination and reflection. With a low child-to-teacher ratio, each child receives guidance and support while exploring their interests, making friends, and having fun together. From glittery disco dances to garden salad parties and puppet-making adventures, Little House Playschool is a joyful place to laugh, play, and embrace curiosity every day. Little House is a happy place that invites exploration, nurtures play and ignites creative thinking. Space to be who you are and do what you love. Our kids love coming to school. And so do the teachers. Come join us!
