Our Students
Little Lambs is licensed by the state of Michigan to care for and educate children from 6 weeks through 5 years.
Our students graduate and go on to excel at the very top elementary schools in the state such as Brookside; Detroit Country Day; and the Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Rochester Public Schools.
Our Families
We lovingly embrace children from all faiths and denominations. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or a part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program.
Our Curriculum
Little Lambs bases its daily programming on the High/Scope Curriculum (www.highscope.org). High Scope is one of the only pre-school and early childhood curricula with 40 years of research-based evidence supporting its effectiveness.
Each day, children are exposed to literature, art, fine and gross motor activities, sensory exploration, opportunities for dramatic and imaginative play, music, and social interactions with adults and peers.
Our daily routines at Little Lambs incorporate the spirit of God and our basic Episcopalian beliefs. Children are taught age-appropriate songs, prayers, stories and blessings. On a weekly basis, a bible lesson is read to the toddlers and the pre-schoolers attend Chapel.
Our caregivers and teachers are devoted, highly educated, and highly trained professionals. We support all of our caregivers to seek on-going education to further their knowledge and care-giving abilities of our children. All employees must meet or exceed State Licensing criteria and pass all background checks for criminal activity. In addition, each staff member has been tested for TB.
