In the beginning … Little Learners opened in the fall of 1988 with a morning preschool class of eight children and one teacher. We were located at Faith Bible Church here in Robins. Today we have grown to an enrollment of over ninety children and twenty plus employees.
Our preschool program has expanded to a M-W-F morning program for children who are four and five years of age and a T-TH morning program for children who are three years of age. Based on what we saw as a growing need for quality child care, we began to offer a full-time child care program in the fall of 1996. We now serve children from infant through school age. There were many child care options available in the community, but we determined to be different by design, both in building structure and curriculum. Little Learners is a non-denominational Bible center. Our goal has been and continues to be modeling Christian character and values before the children, as well as complimenting the training you are providing in the home. We want to provide a homelike environment where the children feel safe and secure along with an academic environment where the children feel free to explore and learn. Academically it is important that the children progress at a rate that is commensurate with their ability. The balance is to challenge children where they are and encourage them to reach that next academic level. Emotionally we want the children to feel that they have value and worth. We want them to have confidence in themselves and their abilities. Physically we want children to learn the importance of caring for their bodies and skills for a variety of physical activities. Socially we want to provide opportunities for the children to interact appropriately with their peers. As our program grew, so did our need for additional space. In 1997, we were contacted by Stately Homes about the possibility of being the anchor business in a new development project in Robins. Thus, began the process of building. Through a series of events that we believe were directed by God, we broke ground in January 1998. Our building was opened and ready for occupancy in August 1998. As we look to the future, our priority will continue to be the children in our care. The trust that parents place in us is a responsibility that we do not take lightly. We consider it a privilege to play such an important role in the lives of children. |
