Over 2 Acres to Explore
Children need room to move, discover and experience the world around them. Our Norwalk learning center sits on nearly two acres, giving little learners plenty of space for outdoor play, movement, nature exploration and hands-on discovery.
We Think Childhood Should Look Like Childhood.
Paint on little hands.
Dirt on little knees.
Big questions. Bigger imaginations.
Running outside. Digging. Building. Splashing. Creating. Making friends. Trying something independently for the very first time.
At The Little Learning Center, we believe children learn best by doing.
Our play-based approach gives children opportunities to explore their natural curiosity through sensory experiences, creative play, movement, outdoor learning, meaningful interactions, and hands-on discovery.
Some of the best learning happens when children are free to experiment, explore, and get a little messy along the way.

Connected via Brightwheel
Brightwheel helps keep parents informed and connected to their child's care.
Leaving your child in someone else's care is a big decision.
That's why communication isn't an afterthought here.
We believe strong relationships between families and educators create a more positive, consistent experience for children. Parents are encouraged to communicate openly with our team, ask questions, and stay involved in their child's experience.
We use Brightwheel to help keep families connected and informed throughout the day. You will know everything from the snack your child had to their bowel movements to the time they napped - and pictures of all the fun they are having!
We Want You to Feel Part of Their Day, Too.
When They're Happy to Come Back Tomorrow, You Know You've Found Something Special.
