Children learn best through first-hand experiences—play motivates, stimulates and supports children in their development of skills, concepts, language acquisition, communication skills, and concentration. During play, children use all of their senses, must convey their thoughts and emotions, explore their environment, and connect what they already know with new knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Nurturing Environment
Quality care is defined by daily routines and practices that nurture the development of each individual child and facilitate strong working relationships with families.
Age-Level Learning
Our programs are curated for three different age groups, each program offers the appropriate level of engagement for your child.

With over 14 years of teaching experience in primary education, Jamie Paino became the Director of Little Cats Early Learning Center in the summer of 2021. Jamie and the entire staff look forward to welcoming your child to the Little Cats program.
"When looking for a preschool program for my son it was important that the school offered the emotional support, lessons and play that I would offer in my own home. I found that and more with Little Cats Early Learning Center and could not be more impressed and blessed to have found my son blossoming in his socialization and emotional maturity all while learning independence. The school has not only offered care and safety I am confident in, but has helped in his separation anxiety and growth. I can not say enough about the way Little Cats has changed our lives for the better."
