What is it?
Little Eagles Daycare & Preschool offers a preschool program for children 3-4 years old. Our school serves families in the greater Houlton area and is designed to help your child grow in a positive, Christian, learning environment. Academic, social, and motor skills are addressed in a play-based, teacher-directed, Bible-based curriculum for children.
A licensed childcare center, Little Eagles offers year-round services Monday through Friday with child drop-off as early as 7:45 a.m. and pick-up as late as 5:00 pm. The educational piece of our day usually takes place in the morning, as we do offer a limited number of part-time slots for children to attend Tuesday-Thursday from 8-11:30am at a discounted rate.
Our Mission
Our mission is to instill an early love of learning and to offer students a safe place to develop individually. Our vision is to serve as a school that nurtures, challenges, and encourages students in their unique gifts and abilities to attain their highest potential for God’s glory. Our core educational values are:
- To Glorify God in all activities and relationships with the resources God has given.
- To Foster Partnerships between parents, churches and the school.
- To Show the Love of Christ through compassion, discipline and grace.
- To Show Respect to others, understanding that everyone is created in the image of God.
- To Live Honestly relying on that as a base for all relationships and achievements.
- To Aim for Excellence, letting its pursuit underlie all we do.
Our Learning Environment
Learning at Little Eagles Preschool is purposeful but fun! Here, students will learn through individual and group play, circle time, and one-on-one time with staff.
A typical day at preschool includes free play at our learning centers, circle time that includes pledges, weather exploration, an introduction to a letter of the week, numbers, shapes, colors and opposites. We focus our time on a theme for each week and have a segment that includes stories and lessons from the Bible. The preschoolers also participate in music, physical education and chapel. Good habits and manners are also integrated into all we do each day.
Our learning centers, which include blocks, fine motor skills, puzzles, playdough, sensory, dramatic play, and many more, provide opportunities for exploration that reinforce what we teach each week.
