Our Philosophy
Little Footprints Learning Center is based on the belief that all children are a gift from God with unique God-given talents. We believe that young children learn by doing: What is meaningful and important to children is what they know, see and feel. All learning must begin there, building on what children know, helping them to understand connections and relationships.
Our teachers serve as role models to the children, as well as their families. They guide the children to express their thoughts and feelings in a positive, productive manner, including the use of prayer. The teachers also create a nurturing environment which encourages active learning and provides activities which nourishes the children’s cognitive, spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social/emotional growth.
Our curriculum and its activities are implemented in a warm, supportive atmosphere where the uniqueness of each child is recognized and valued. This is accomplished by exposing the children to a large variety of hands-on experiences, appropriate to their age and developmental level. The curriculum also includes character lessons based on biblical values in order to help the children make sense out of the complicated world in which they live.
