Little Scholars Child Care

 

Located in Cambridge, Ontario, Little Scholars is committed to providing children with a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where they feel confident to explore, discover, and grow through meaningful learning experiences. Our program follows an emergent curriculum that builds on the interests of the children, guiding both our play-based and skill-building activities.

 

At Little Scholars, we understand that children thrive when their learning experiences are balanced. That’s why we place equal importance on both play and skill-based activities. We view play as a vital foundation for learning and development, offering children opportunities to explore, acquire new skills, strengthen existing ones, and engage in experiences that support their overall growth. Our goal is to create an environment that meets the diverse play needs of every child, nurturing their natural curiosity and fostering a lifelong love of learning. At the same time, our programs are thoughtfully designed to develop essential academic skills—including literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. By combining structured learning with purposeful play, we ensure that every child is supported in becoming a well-rounded, confident learner, capable of thriving both inside and outside the classroom. 

 

At Little Scholars, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care for every child. We believe that in our nurturing and dynamic environment—supported by caring educators, an engaging curriculum, and enriching experiences—each child is empowered with the tools to reach their fullest potential.
