Little Learners Center — Valley East is an Arcata early childhood site offering on-site infant, toddler and preschool care with an emphasis on developmental experiences and school readiness.
The Valley East location in Arcata provides on-site care for infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children, focusing on social, emotional, physical and age-appropriate developmental experiences aimed at preparing children for school.
The program follows weekly themed planning and incorporates a research-based social-emotional curriculum introduced each morning and reinforced throughout the day. Staff use teacher- and child-directed activities, complete academic and social assessments to document progress, and communicate daily notes and updates through a parent communication app.
The infant room provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for infants to explore throughout their day. Experiences with teachers, peers, language, movement, music, books, water, art and dramatic play materials enhance children’s growth and development.
Our preschool program is enriching and fulfilling in many different ways such as academically, socially, and emotionally. We have a 1:8 teacher child ratio which surpasses the state’s requirement.
The toddler room is a fun and engaging learning environment for children 18 –36 months old. The toddler room provides a nurturing environment with structure that allows the students to grow and learn while feeling safe and comfortable.
