At Little Village we know and believe that every child learns best, through creativity and imagination. We know that every one of our teachers will impact your child and leave a positive mark.We strive for excellence in all we do. Our daily programme is jam-packed with music, movement, creative activities, language enrichment, sensory integration, tactile development, life skills, baking, fantasy play and emotional development. The GOAL of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn.
At Little Village we pride ourselves on creating an environment where children can learn through monitored play. We provide that environment with our carefully thought out playgrounds equipped with safe and adequate equipment. We maintain a healthy balance between playtime and class time.

It takes a special type of educator to work with children that make up the early childhood age range. Teachers must address learning competencies that support the attainment of basic cognitive, behavioural, social and physical developmental milestones. Patience, creativity, a love for the field and a professional qualification in child development are all important qualities of an early childhood educator. We are blessed to have all those teachers here at Little Village Christian Nursery School.
Our teachers are first aid level 2 trained and participate in educational enrichment workshops and conferences throughout the year.

It inspires me when my teachers are passionate and enthusiastic about their day. It's so rewarding to witness the daily acts or conversations of children and to know I can make a difference in their lives.
I want to empower the children to make the most of everyday and grab every opportunity that comes their way!

It's so rewarding when one has reached the learning outcomes for the day and all my kiddies are happy and filled with fun.

I try my best to inspire these children to be the best they can be, believe in themselves, and shine your light for Jesus.
