Class Experience

Littles Learning Lab is a Reggio-inspired creative learning program for preschool aged children who are ready to set the foundation for kindergarten/school by learning to be part of a community and working toward their individualized academic goals. The focus of this program is on an experiential, child-centered and child-directed curriculum using a wide range of materials specially curated to integrate with the learning goals of the day or week. Children explore themes and concepts through learning provocations and invitations to create that are thoughtfully designed and use high quality materials. Through these fun and engaging activities, children develop skills around literacy, mathematics and STEM, socialization, gross and fine motor development, creative problem solving, and the arts. Children are supported in building confidence and independence, and individualized attention is given to each child’s unique strengths, needs, and interests. Our teachers are highly qualified and value the uniqueness of every child. We believe that children of all ages are highly capable and naturally curious. We nurture that curiosity and promote knowledge through creativity in a positive, warm, and energetic environment. Our programs strike a balance between focused learning and open-ended play, between active energy and calming mindfulness.


The student-teacher ratio for this program is 5:1 or lower. Programs take place in our beautiful light-filled studio in downtown Lewisburg, with opportunities to play outside at Hufnagle Park and visit downtown locations. 


Students should bring a snack and water bottle.


Parking, Pick-up and Drop-off: During designated dropoff and pickup times, a teacher will be stationed at our front door to assist with safe and smooth pick-up and drop-off. 


What to wear: Comfortable clothes that can get messy! Shoes that allow for comfortable walking and active play (and can get messy).
