The goal of Small World Learning Center is to prepare our children to enter Kindergarten developmentally prepared and ready to learn. We do this by aiding young children in developing fine and gross motor skills, writing, reading and social skills by providing learning activities that are age appropriate, challenging and engaging for our children.
Children are provided with an integrated learning environment. They are encouraged to explore and experiment according to their own interests. We use the California Preschool Learning Foundations as a base to create child centered curricula. This allows each child to successfully progress and develop educational skills at his or her own rate.
We measure success through formal and informal observations and assessments. The Desired Results Developmental Profile assessments which are aligned to the California Preschool Learning Foundations, allow us to chart each individual child’s development within their natural learning environment.

"[My daughter] Taylor enjoys going to Small World. She is learning her sounds and practicing writing her name. She's grown accustomed to her new school easily, and the children there enjoy her. She is always excited at the end of her day!"

"My son Francisco has been with [preschool teacher] Mrs. Lili for over a year, and I can say that his progress has improved beyond my expectations. I am very excited that he has a great teacher, as well as other great staff from Reading And Beyond. Francisco knows all his letters and is now learning the sounds to each letter. He knows all his shapes and loves to sign songs and read books. I enjoy hearing him sing the same songs that I sang as a child. Mrs. Lili has done a great job and I am very thankful. Francisco enjoys going to school every day!"

“Small World [Learning Center] has been a good fit for our family. Not only does it fill the need of quality childcare near our home, but the staff has been encouraging, willing to be flexible with our schedules, and even helped us find affordable tuition solutions. Beyond that, my daughter has been learning at or above her age level, and loves the music time, painting/art projects, and the opportunity to play with friends.”
