About Us
Our Mission Statement
​
At Little Lamb Learners Christian Preschool, our teachers strive to provide a nurturing environment where children learn about God’s love, themselves and the world around them. Our program instills the academic building blocks children need to succeed in school both academically and socially, as well as the values that allow them to become loving, caring members of their community. The children develop the essential skills they need to be fully prepared for kindergarten in a setting where they are encouraged to come to know and love God and his son, Jesus. Ultimately, our mission is to provide children with a strong academic and spiritual foundation that will enable each of them to reach their God-given potential.
