About Our Teachers

The teachers at Little Lamb Learners Christian Preschool make learning fun so that children develop a love of learning at an early age. A variety of teaching strategies and skill activities are used in the classroom including Bible stories and verses, nursery rhymes, writing activities, circle time, activity centers, creative play, student discovery, games, puzzles, crafts, music and movement. Each month there are also cooking projects, in-class "field trips" and special demonstrations. Our challenging curriculum is designed to help each child develop in certain specific areas which are further described on the individual classroom website pages.
