Our Facility: Founded in 1969, Wee Lad and Lassie Early Learning Center is a small private facility located on a beautiful wooded acre in Arnold, Maryland.
Our Program: In 1987, Wee Lad and Lassie joined the very few private preschool and kindergarten programs to receive the Maryland State Department of Education non-public school approval. In addition, in 2005, we earned MSDE Early Childhood Accreditation. This means our management, staff and curricula meet the highest standards in Maryland. Currently we are one of only two MSDE Accredited programs in Arnold. Our curricula are broad based, covering Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Also included are music and technology instruction, fine art, physical education, and Spanish. We promote the development of the whole child by fostering physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. We believe that a developmentally appropriate approach to learning and individual attention are the keys to a high quality early childhood education.
Our Staff: Our teachers and staff members are enthusiastic about children and teaching! The interaction between children and adults is positive, warm, and nurturing with lots of attention to each child's needs. All teachers have a Bachelors Degree and several have completed Graduate Programs. We find that our teachers are happy here, with many of our staff remaining for a number of years to build a learning community.
Please feel free to call with questions you may have or to schedule a visit. We encourage parents and students to visit our facility to observe classes in session and meet our staff; that is the best way to evaluate a program!
Our sister school, A Child's Garden, offers preschool classes and extended care for your younger children (18 months to 3 years old). Please visit their website at www.achildsgarden2.com for more information.
