Hi, my name is Denette Russell and I am the owner and director of Little Tikes University. I have three wounderful children and a loving husband.  At Little Tikes University you are part of our family. Our preschool is a learning centre for children ages 3 to 5 years old. The main idea is to learn through play, the children will learn in a kindergarten-like setting. While keeping learning activities fun, interactive, interesting and hands-on. At Little Tikes University we integrate language arts, math, science, creative expression, music and art. We do this through the use of interaction, books, songs, plays, puppets, crafts and science experiments, and of course our animals. The children will be abl eto interact and learn about the dogs, horses, cats, and bunnies that we have on site every day.

Interaction

At Little Tikes University our education centers on interacting.  When children are able to interact with what they are learning about they learn and develop faster. Important behavior and social skills are learned and practiced: the development of independence, sharing, taking turns, learning how to make

choices and following directions to name a few.

Your child will learn by exploring and experiencing different art projects, stories, songs, games, music, plays, free play, outdoor play and group time along with many other activities to many to name. We also go on field trips through out the year to places like the pumpkin patch and have hay rack rides.

  • Letters and Numerals: how they are shaped differently, how letters have different sounds and how they are put together to form words; how different numerals show different amounts.

  • Shapes, Colors and Sounds: through activities such as matching, patterning, graphing and charting.

  • Science and Math: hands-on learning by measuring, weighing, estimating, counting and experimenting.

  • Language Skills: through stories, songs, poems, guessing and acting out.
