From the Hearts of Our Families
Within our walls, learning and laughter play out daily, as children eagerly step into our ever-evolving educational wonderland. Each new day unfolds with the promise of discovery, and our little explorers can’t wait to see what’s in store. Parents share in this excitement, witnessing their children’s growth of continued exploration at home. Our community is built on this shared joy—when our children flourish, their family’s hearts grow fonder and fuller.
"We moved to EDH last year and visited many potential preschools. Lil Scholars was the only pre-school my daughter walked in and felt immediately at home. Kristin and her staff are definitely the type of teachers that are just made to be around kids. The environment is fun, and educational; a lot of hands-on activities, and my daughter absolutely loved attending here. I feel this school helped her prepare for kindergarten and introduced her to a great group of little friends."
"Our child is enrolled at ‘Lil Scholars and he loves it! As soon as he arrives it’s “Mom who?”. The teachers are wonderful and we are so impressed with the director/program. She has provided extensive literature on the preschool/monthly newsletters, parent/teacher conferences, a clean, educational and loving environment… We highly recommend this school!"
"Excellent preschool. I’ve had children here 4 years. My kids love it. Ms. Kristin and her team are the best teachers and very loving to the children. They do fun activities and personalize the experience for each child. Highly recommend."
"My child just started with Lil Scholars and I'm so impressed with the teachers and their program! The focus on mindfulness and social-emotional learning is exceptional! I highly recommend this school!"

We are the best combination of both worlds…small, close knit, home like environment that offers rich, hands on, educational opportunities for preschool aged children to help prepare them for kindergarten success and beyond!
