Dedicated to early childhood development, Little Ambassadors’ Academy provides a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and grow through discovery.
As Little Ambassadors’ Academy enters its fifth school year offering a Kindergarten program at our Overlee Campus, enrollment is now active for Fall 2024!
At LAA we believe children learn best through discovery and strive to provide a safe, creative, and nurturing space to help children develop curious and compassionate lifelong learners. We celebrate individuality and embrace that to help our children reach their fullest potential.
A well-balanced program is essential for a positive early childhood development experience. LAA creates well rounded students by exposing them to strong learning components. Through daily healthy living activities, students are developing the tools they need for personal growth and gross motor development.
The art of language is supported by our Spanish lessons and visits to our school library. Music enrichment and process based art projects encourage the creative strengths of children.
Our hands-on approach with science creates opportunities for critical thinking, observation skills, and the ability to form conclusions. Our curriculum creates a diverse learning experience for our students and contributes to their overall development which fosters their growth into bright, responsible, and caring citizens.
