Prep for Littles is a drop-off program designed to help children build independence in a supportive, playful environment. With a 4:1 child-to-teacher ratio, kids get plenty of attention as they grow in confidence and begin to separate comfortably. Each class is split between time in the gym and time in the classroom. In the gym, children are introduced to a variety of sports and movement-based activities like soccer, basketball and basic gymnastics. The focus is on coordination, participation and learning through repetition and play. In the classroom, children work on socialization and early learning through simple, structured activities. This includes art projects, story time, and imaginative play that support language, early concepts (colors, numbers, letters) and fine motor skills. Every class also includes snack and circle time, helping create routine and a sense of community.
