Little Learners Programs - Structured Play & Learning

Program

Little Learners

HEParks play school programs offer structured play experiences that prepare children for kindergarten success. Through guided activities, storytelling, music, art, and group play, children develop social skills, following directions, and classroom routines. Caring instructors foster independence, curiosity, and a love of learning in every session.

To schedule a tour or for more information, contact Natalie Wood, Early Childhood Program Manager.
