Our Approach

At Little Treasures Kids Academy, we believe every child is unique-and so is the way they learn. Our program blends intentional academics, outdoor exploration, and emotional support to nurture the whole child. We draw inspiration from a variety of approaches-including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and nature-based learning-allowing us to stay flexible and responsive to each child’s needs.

We honor holistic development, nurturing children’s minds, bodies, and hearts through meaningful experiences both indoors and out.

Whole-Child, Holistic Learning

We support the growth of the whole child-socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Our educators recognize that every child learns differently and are open to adapting methods to best support individual strengths. We foster confidence, independence, and school readiness while celebrating every milestone.

Nature-Based & Outdoor Exploration

Nature is not just part of our day; it’s part of our curriculum. Children spend time outdoors daily, exploring, observing, and building a connection with the natural world. Whether counting rocks, creating mud art, or listening to birdsongs, outdoor learning strengthens curiosity, resilience, and joy.

STEAM & Inquiry-Based Learning

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) are intentionally embedded into children’s experiences through hands-on, project based learning. From designing ramps and bridges to investigating shadows and plant life, children become active thinkers and problem solvers.

Intentional Academic Foundations

We believe that academics should be meaningful, playful, and developmentally appropriate. Children build early literacy, math, and critical thinking skills through engaging activities such as storytelling, nature journaling, and pattern exploration. Learning is purposeful and joyful; never forced or overwhelming.

Enrichments & Movement

Our weekly enrichment classes support creativity, physical development, and overall well-being. Classes such as:

-Music & Rhythm

-Movement & Yoga

-Sports Fitness & Health

These classes help children express themselves, build coordination, strengthen their bodies, and develop lifelong healthy habits in a joyful and engaging way.

Social-Emotional & Social Justice Learning

We teach children how to identify emotions, build friendships, and navigate conflict with empathy and confidence. We also introduce early ideas of equity, fairness, and belonging in age-appropriate ways so every child knows their voice matters and their identity is honored.

A Flexible, Responsive Philosophy

We are not bound to one teaching style; we follow the child. Our educators pull from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, nature-based, and emergent curriculum frameworks to offer a rich, adaptable program that evolves with your child’s interests and developmental needs.

Learning That Lasts

At Little Treasures Kids Academy, we build more than knowledge- we build curiosity, compassion, and character. Children leave our program confident, capable, and eager to keep learning, not just in school, but in life as well.
