Super Sweet Shows That Boost
Your Child’s Self-Esteem

Your child will love to perform for their parents and friends at any one of our extraordinary yearly events. Singing songs, dancing, and performing gives your little one confidence while having a lot of fun.

On The Path To
Kindergarten Readiness Now

We teach your child the importance of having a strong character alongside the ability to read. Having the right balance of social and academic skills will give your child the confidence she needs when it’s time to graduate to grade school.

Following Your Child’s Interests
To Tailor Their Learning

Children lead their learning instead of set, rigid, pre-set lesson plans. As a result, your child will have a more enriching learning experience when the teacher considers your kid’s interests and needs while planning their lessons.

Fun, Lovable Characters Help
Your Child Learn To Read

Your child will learn their numbers and letters from familiar friends, Amber Lamb and Button Bear of the Abeka Book curriculum. These loveable characters guide your child through pre-literacy and math concepts using fun activities like coloring, crafts, and games.

That Love Caring For Children

The teachers on our team are loving, fun, kind individuals that know how to build a rapport with young children. Lead teachers have a minimum Child Development Associate degree and have access to continuing education, so their teaching skills are always up to date.

Theme-based Learning Includes Special Visitors And Fun Field Trips

The school’s overall curriculum boasts awesome weekly themes like the Indy 500, Community Helpers, or the Zoo. In-house visitors and off-site trips complement the hands-on activities, games, and events related to each unique topic.

parent reviews

"The overall curriculum is wonderful and we have been very pleased"

We have been part of the Little Lamb community for over 5 years. Our daughter attended from infancy through pre-k and our son is now in the infant room. The overall curriculum is wonderful and we have been very pleased with our daughter’s kindergarten readiness. Child care is a very personal decision and one situation may not be right for every family. But I’m confident Little Lamb was the right choice for our family!

- Rachel Doyel

"I still cannot say enough good things about them"

I’ve been taking my daughter to The Little Lamb since she was 13 weeks old. Being a working mom, it was so important to me to find a loving and caring environment to leave my newborn in. I’ve always felt that the staff at The Little Lamb has provided this kind of environment. Now she is 4 years old, and I still cannot say enough good things about them. Not only is she in a fun, loving environment, she is learning so much! I’m so grateful for everything she is learning, from life skills and preparation for kindergarten to learning about God.

- Kristen Stranko

"The loving and safe environment and enriching activities nurture our children emotionally, socially, academically, physically, and spiritually"

The Little Lamb provides exceptional care and education for our toddler and preschooler. The loving and safe environment and enriching activities nurture our children emotionally, socially, academically, physically, and spiritually. We are confident in sharing our children with the teachers and staff every day, as they feel like family.
