At Little Lambs Mother’s Day Out, your child will get a full time preschool experience with Mother’s Day Out hours. With two experienced teachers in every classroom, we offer small class sizes and student-teacher ratios. Each class follows an age appropriate schedule that implements developmental learning, skills, and play.
Infants
Our infant classrooms provide a gentle, loving environment where our youngest children are nurtured through attentive, responsive care and meaningful interaction.
From day one, our infant teachers are intentional about creating a strong relationship with both the infant and their family to ensure every child feels safe, secure, and loved while in our care and families can have peace of mind throughout the day knowing their baby is in good hands.Through songs, stories, tummy time, sensory play, and hands-on exploration, our infants strengthen early fine and gross motor skills and social awareness. Daily routines offer consistency and comfort, while gentle encouragement fosters curiosity and confidence in growing towards their next milestone.
Toddlers
Our toddler classrooms provide a calm, secure environment that balances the joy and wonder of toddler play with the introduction of structure and routine in a classroom setting. With patience and a Christ-like temperament, our toddler teachers build strong bonds with each child, creating a sense of safety and trust that supports healthy emotional development. Through songs, stories, age-appropriate crafts, and play centers, our toddlers strengthen fine and gross motor skills, social awareness, and language development.
As toddlers are rapidly developing both physically and cognitively, our toddler classrooms foster each child’s natural curiosity by encouraging explorative indoor and outdoor play, and celebrating their earliest discoveries, building a foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
