The Learning Experience offers programs from infancy through kindergarten and uses the L.E.A.P.\u00ae curriculum to support age-appropriate intellectual, social, cognitive, and physical development.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Do you offer care and education for infants?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Yes. Our Infant Care program serves babies from 6 weeks to 15 months. The program combines responsive caregiving with age-appropriate sensory exploration, movement, music, stories, language exposure, and nurturing relationships.<\/p>\n

Infant care is built around individualized feeding, rest, diapering, comfort, and play routines. Because every baby develops on a different timeline, teachers provide experiences that support each child\u2019s current needs and milestones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

What does Toddler Care include for children 15 months to 2 years?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our Toddler Care program supports children as they become more mobile, verbal, independent, and socially aware. Toddlers learn through active play, songs, stories, sensory experiences, movement, art, outdoor exploration, teacher conversation, and predictable daily routines.<\/p>\n

Children may build early vocabulary, listening skills, balance, coordination, self-help abilities, emotional expression, and confidence participating in classroom activities. The Learning Experience describes its toddler program as safe, curiosity-driven exploration that supports emerging language and motor skills.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

What does your program for 3-year-olds include?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our Preschool Program for 3-Year-Olds helps children explore early literacy, vocabulary, letter awareness, number concepts, STEM discovery, art, music, movement, imaginative play, and friendship skills.<\/p>\n

Three-year-olds also practice classroom routines, emotional expression, problem-solving, communication, and growing independence. Teachers use hands-on activities and purposeful play to make learning engaging and developmentally appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

What will my 2-year-old learn?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Two-year-olds learn through hands-on experiences, repetition, play, movement, and responsive teacher guidance. In our Twos Program, children may explore:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Communication and early language development<\/li>\n
  • Songs, stories, rhymes, and early literacy experiences<\/li>\n
  • Colors, shapes, counting, matching, sorting, and patterns<\/li>\n
  • Music, movement, art, and imaginative play<\/li>\n
  • Fine-motor skills through crayons, blocks, puzzles, and manipulatives<\/li>\n
  • Gross-motor skills through outdoor play, dancing, climbing, and active games<\/li>\n
  • Friendship skills, turn-taking, sharing, and positive classroom behavior<\/li>\n
  • Early independence through clean-up, handwashing, mealtime, and transitions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Learning Experience\u2019s Twaddlers\u00ae curriculum is designed to help many 2-year-olds bridge toddlerhood and preschool through language, social play, routine-building, and motor-skill development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    How does Pre-K support 4-year-olds?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Our Pre-K program helps four-year-olds build skills that support a successful kindergarten transition. Children strengthen early literacy, phonics, writing, math, science, problem-solving, social-emotional awareness, motor skills, classroom participation, and independence.<\/p>\n

    Pre-K children may practice following multi-step directions, participating in group lessons, completing classroom jobs, managing transitions, using materials responsibly, and expressing ideas with growing confidence. The Learning Experience\u2019s preschool programs immerse children ages 3 to 5 in the L.E.A.P.\u00ae curriculum and character-based lessons intended to support kindergarten preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    How do I know which program is right for my child?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    The best program depends on your child\u2019s age, developmental stage, classroom availability, family needs, and the center\u2019s current enrollment guidelines. During a personal tour, our team can learn more about your child and explain the available program options.<\/p>\n

    We encourage parents to ask about age-based placement, classroom transitions, daily routines, enrollment timing, and whether a specific program currently has openings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Do you offer private kindergarten in Suwanee?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Yes. We offer a full-day private kindergarten program for eligible children ages 5 to 6. The program is designed to provide an engaging first school experience that develops academic confidence, independence, friendships, and first-grade readiness.<\/p>\n

    Our private kindergarten combines literacy, phonics, reading, writing, math, science, social studies, STEM, wellness, character development, enrichment, social-emotional learning, and physical activity through The Learning Experience\u2019s L.E.A.P.\u00ae curriculum.<\/p>\n

    Enrollment, eligibility, start dates, classroom availability, teacher assignments, tuition, and program offerings are subject to change. Contact us directly for current kindergarten details.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    About the L.E.A.P.\u00ae Curriculum<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    What are the four areas of L.E.A.P.\u00ae?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    The curriculum is organized around four connected learning areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    L.E.A.P.\u00ae Area<\/strong><\/td>\nFocus<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    Language & Literacy<\/td>\nVocabulary, communication, phonemic awareness, storytelling, early reading, and writing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Enrichment & Experience<\/td>\nArt, music, STEM, cultural awareness, creative projects, and imaginative learning<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Academic Foundation<\/td>\nMath concepts, scientific inquiry, logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Physical Development & Play<\/td>\nGross-motor movement, fine-motor skills, active play, coordination, wellness, and healthy habits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The Learning Experience describes L.E.A.P.\u00ae as a hands-on, whole-child curriculum that combines these areas to build intellectual, social, cognitive, and physical skills.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    What does L.E.A.P.\u00ae mean?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    L.E.A.P.\u00ae stands for\u00a0Learning Experience Academic Program. It is The Learning Experience\u2019s proprietary curriculum framework, designed to support the whole child through academic, social, cognitive, and physical learning experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Does L.E.A.P.\u00ae include STEM?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Yes. STEM learning is incorporated through age-appropriate science, technology, engineering, and math experiences. Children may explore cause and effect, nature, weather, plants, building challenges, measuring, sorting, patterns, balancing, and simple experiments.<\/p>\n

    The goal is to help children practice curiosity, observation, prediction, problem-solving, collaboration, and persistence\u2014not simply memorize facts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Does the curriculum include art, music, and movement?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Yes. Art, music, creative expression, movement, and physical play are important parts of the L.E.A.P.\u00ae approach. These activities can help children build creativity, confidence, language, coordination, fine-motor skills, gross-motor skills, and social connection.<\/p>\n

    The Learning Experience identifies music, art, STEM, cultural awareness, and physical development through structured activities and play as parts of L.E.A.P.\u00ae.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Is the L.E.A.P.\u00ae curriculum play-based?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    L.E.A.P.\u00ae blends purposeful play with teacher-guided instruction and age-appropriate academic experiences. Children learn through stories, conversation, music, art, building, movement, experiments, outdoor activities, sensory exploration, projects, games, and real-life classroom routines.<\/p>\n

    For young children, play is an important way to explore ideas, build language, develop motor skills, practice social interaction, and solve problems. The Learning Experience states that its curriculum encourages children to learn through exploration and hands-on experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    How does L.E.A.P.\u00ae change as my child gets older?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    The whole-child approach remains consistent, but the activities, expectations, materials, and learning goals become more advanced as children grow.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Infants experience responsive care, movement, sensory discovery, songs, stories, and early communication.<\/li>\n
    • Toddlers build language, mobility, social awareness, and self-help skills through routines and active exploration.<\/li>\n
    • Twos practice communication, early concepts, emotional expression, friendship skills, and independence.<\/li>\n
    • Preschoolers explore early literacy, math, science, creativity, classroom participation, and problem-solving.<\/li>\n
    • Pre-K students strengthen phonics, writing, math, STEM, social-emotional skills, classroom habits, and kindergarten readiness.<\/li>\n
    • Kindergarteners engage in more advanced literacy, writing, math, science, social studies, STEM, leadership, and first-grade-readiness learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      Will my child have outdoor play and movement opportunities?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Children need opportunities to move, build coordination, explore, and release energy. Our programs incorporate age-appropriate active play, music and movement, physical development activities, and outdoor time when conditions and schedules allow.<\/p>\n

      Activities may include running, climbing, balancing, ball play, dancing, movement games, obstacle courses, and playground exploration. The L.E.A.P.\u00ae approach includes gross-motor development and physical play alongside academic and enrichment experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      How do teachers support social-emotional development?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Teachers help children build confidence, identify feelings, communicate needs, practice friendship skills, navigate simple conflicts, take turns, show empathy, and recover from everyday disappointments.<\/p>\n

      Social-emotional learning happens throughout the day\u2014in group activities, play, transitions, meals, outdoor time, creative projects, and classroom routines. Teachers use patient, age-appropriate guidance to help children learn skills rather than expecting them to manage every new experience independently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      Do you support potty training?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Potty-training readiness varies from child to child. Little Innovators supports children with positive, encouraging routines when they are developmentally ready and when classroom placement and center policies allow.<\/p>\n

      Families should speak with the school directly about current toileting procedures, requirements, communication practices, and how teachers coordinate with parents for consistency between home and school.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      How do you handle big feelings or behavior challenges?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Young children are still learning how to express emotions, wait, share, manage frustration, and solve problems. Teachers use calm, consistent, age-appropriate guidance to support children through challenging moments.<\/p>\n

      Depending on the situation, teachers may help a child name a feeling, use words or gestures to communicate, take a brief calming pause, make a safe choice, practice taking turns, or work toward a simple solution with support.<\/p>\n

      For example, if two children want the same toy, a teacher may acknowledge both children\u2019s feelings, explain whose turn it is, offer another option, and help the waiting child understand what will happen next.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      How do teachers communicate with families?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Family communication is an important part of quality early education. Teachers and center staff share relevant information about your child\u2019s day, routines, care needs, activities, and progress according to current center procedures.<\/p>\n

      The specific format, technology, frequency, and type of updates may vary by classroom and location. During your tour, ask our team how daily reports, classroom updates, milestone communication, and family conferences work at Little Innovators.<\/p>\n

      The Learning Experience notes that its centers offer parent communication tools and daily updates, although availability and center-level practices can vary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      \n

      What does a typical day look like?<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Daily schedules vary by classroom, age group, staffing, season, and center operations. In general, children experience a thoughtful balance of care routines, group learning, small-group activities, learning centers, purposeful play, creative enrichment, meals or snacks, outdoor movement, rest or quiet time, and teacher-child interaction.<\/p>\n

      For infants, the day is built around individualized care needs such as feeding, rest, diapering, comfort, and developmental play. Older children may have more structured routines that include group discussions, literacy activities, math, science, art, music, outdoor play, classroom jobs, and learning-center exploration.<\/p>\n

      Ask our team during your tour for the current schedule for your child\u2019s age group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
