Little Rangers and Little Miners are Early Childhood Learning (Pre-K) programs that provide children ages 3, 4, and 5, with opportunities to interact with other children in a school setting. This helps them prepare for success in Kindergarten and beyond!

Our classes offer experiences in all areas of development including academic, fine motor, gross motor, language, social emotional, and self help. Children's progress is monitored and their progress is shared with parents throughout the year and at parent-teacher conferences.

These classes are full of developmentally appropriate activities just right for your 3 year old to introduce them to the school setting with a mixture of age-appropriate curriculum and free play. Child must be 3 years old by September 1st to attend that school year.
