Welcome to Little Hawks Child Development Center & Lab School

 We offer an enriched social and educational experience for children 18 months to entry into first grade. We are a model of "best practices" in the field of early education and children benefit by participating in innovative projects and personal interactions. Having a play-based philosophy, academics are integrated into the daily activities. Your child will have enriched activities throughout the day that are based on their interests. We are committed to providing an inclusive and diverse environment where all children, families, students, and staff feel welcome.

Our Philosophy

We believe that all children learn through play and have an innate curiosity and healthy desire to learn. They construct their understanding of the world through interactions with peers, adults, and the environment. It is through meaningful experiences with others that fosters a love of learning.

Our Center is designed to enhance the development of the physical, mental, social, and emotional self. We see children as inherently competent and unique. Every child is encouraged to participate in all aspecs of our program while enjoying interactions with teachers and peers.

We offer a balanced approach to social development by providing an anti-bias environment which creates a climate of positive self and group identity, through which every child can achieve their fullest potential.

We create a safe and healthy environment that inspires learning, encourages involvement, celebrates success, and cultivates a positive attitude towards oneself and others.
