Little Log Cabin Child Care and Learning Center

Little Log Cabin has a class to meet almost every
child's needs. Read below to learn more about all the
opportunities for learning and fun at Little Log Cabin!

The Cubs Class (2 ½ and 3 year-olds) and Koalas Class (3 year-olds) main
emphasis is on socialization skills and learning readiness skills. We work
with these students on listening skills, following directions and series of
directions, cooperative play, and sharing. We begin to introduce numbers
and letters. They start to develop age appropriate skills such as cutting
and how to correctly hold scissors, pencils, and crayons. There are arts
and crafts activities which work on hand-eye coordination and fine motor
skills. These students also have a music lesson each week
and have recess every day.

The Multi-Age Bears Class (4 and 5 year-olds) uses a McGraw Hill
curriculum which helps the students prepare for a kindergarten class. We
work with the students on sight work, number and letter recognition. They
begin to learn concepts such as sequencing and memorization which are
necessary to begin to learn the alphabet and numbers. Our students
continue to develop ability to play and learn cooperatively and necessary
socialization skills. The class has recess every day and each student has a
half-hour music lesson each week. Arts and crafts are an integral part of our
class day as well continuing to enhance small motor skill
and eye hand coordination.

Since the fall of 1996, LLC has offered a half-day AM Kindergarten, the
Pandas, with extended full day care for parents who wish their child to
remain at the center all day after the morning LLC kindergarten
class. The Pandas use a MacMillian/ McGraw Hill curriculum which
follows the SOL taught in public schools. Students are expected to be
reading, writing, and computing simple math problems by the end of the
year. Our students are involved in a multitude of hands on activities, and
a lot of class time is devoted to science and art activities which are
learning tools that teach whole language skills while also being fun
and creative. They generally take one field trip a month,
many of them tied to SOL requirements. They have recess each day
and have a music lesson once a week.

The before-and-after school program, the Polar Bears, is for students from
public school Kindergarten through age 12. Some of these children come to
LLC in the morning before going to public school and some come in
the afternoon after school. Some come for both morning and afternoon.
