Research demonstrates that children who have early childhood experiences with books and print while acquiring speaking, listening, and writing skills are prepared for reading instruction in school and become better readers.
Early knowledge of number sense is also a strong predictor of a child's later understanding of mathematics.
By providing the foundational skills for future success, the VCSC Little Alice Learning Center will help children become ready for kindergarten and the grade levels that follow.
At Little Alice Learning Center, we believe in Purposeful Play. Powerful Learning.
Every early learning experience is intentionally designed to set the stage for your child’s future success in kindergarten and beyond.
