Our Programs: Built on Our Custom Curriculum for Holistic Growth

At Little Learner Children's Academy, we’ve developed our proprietary R.I.S.E (Reach, Inspire, Self-Paced, Excellence) curriculum to provide an exceptional early learning experience. Our programs focus on cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development, ensuring children are ready for every step of their educational journey.

What is R.I.S.E Curriculum?

The R.I.S.E. Curriculum is an acronym for Reach, Inspire, Self-Paced Excellence. This specially designed educational resource is tailored for Toddlers, Preschoolers and Kindergarteners.

How It Works?

Every R.I.S.E. workbook includes a yearly plan printed inside the cover, outlining a monthly theme and learning focus.

The curriculum supports structured learning while giving our teachers the flexibility to tailor activities to the unique needs of each age group.

Your child will work in their R.I.S.E book 2–3 times a week, completing one page per session. There are no scripted instructions; this encourages creativity and allows our educators to adapt activities to best support your child's learning style.

Some Activities Include:

• Coloring and tracing

• Name writing practice

• Finger and dot painting

• Art with glitter, glue, or pasta

• Connect-the-dots

These hands-on activities help strengthen fine motor skills, promote creativity, and make learning fun!

Small Group Focus

To ensure quality attention, we complete R.I.S.E Curriculum activities in small groups, usually no more than three children at a time.

This allows our educators to give each child the support and guidance they need.If your child is ever absent, we make sure to catch them up on any missed pages so they don’t fall behind.
