Little Pioneers Preschool Inc.

About Us

MISSION

At Little Pioneers we aspire to create an environment that is designed to meet each child's individual needs, and that allows them to be creative and independent. Overall, we believe children need to feel nurtured, respected, and safe. When children move on from LPP our goal is that they are not only academically prepared but have the confidence they need and are eager to learn.

CURRICULUM

We feel using a theme based curriculum gives children the foundation to explore and be actively engaged in learning and purposeful play. Our themes are integrated throughout all areas including physical, social-emotional, cognitive, language, and creative development.

Dee Marie reviewed Little Pioneers Preschool — 5 star

If you are looking for a preschool in Alpine, look no further. Both of my girls flourished here and learned so much! As a parent, it is amazing to feel that those entrusted with caring for your children while you work care and love them as much as Miss Lori and her staff do. They are the best!

I am one of those parents that over worry about everything, so finding a preschool to put my kids in was a challenge. When I toured Little Pioneers my son and I both knew it was the best place for him. The teachers are amazing and very caring. There were days he would come in crying and they would comfort him. Then there were days I would come in crying and they would comfort me, being a first time mom is hard sometimes. My first born outgrew Little Pioneers and now my second son is there. Both of my sons learned so much and have fun doing it. There are always cute art projects that they can’t wait to show me at the end of the day. My older son who is now in Kindergarten was totally prepared for grade school and is now excelling. I love Little Pioneers Preschool!
