Holistic Development
Our programs at Little Nestlings Early Learning Center are carefully crafted to support all areas of development: cognitive, physical, verbal, emotional, and social. Our classrooms and outdoor spaces in West Linn are designed to inspire children and act as their third teacher, supporting their exploration.
Child-Led Learning
We follow the Reggio Emilia approach, respecting children as competent learners with interests and insights about the world. Our role is to facilitate and guide their learning journey in our West Linn preschool environment.
Kindergarten Readiness
We prepare our learners for
the bigger world of kindergarten. We achieve this by encouraging them to develop listening skills, age-appropriate large and
fine motor skills, and critical thinking. We aim to instill patience, a collaborative spirit, and confidence in their abilities.
