Children ages 4-5 are getting ready for school.  The Teacher to Child ratio is 1:12. The Dazzling Diamonds are embarking on an educational journey. Our center is committed to making the journey a positive and inspiring one.  Each year the Dazzling Diamonds will graduate to higher education and it is our hope that they will always remember their years at Little Gems Early Learning Academy as a stepping stone to a brilliant future.  The Dazzling Diamonds use the Scholastic Curriculum.  The curriculum is theme based.  Themes include “Ready for School”, “Growing Up Healthy” and “Moving On”. The teaching staff will base their Lesson Plans on these themes and the interest of the students to make the learning environment fun and individualized.
