Little Harding (6 weeks–Jr. K)

Learning and Playing in Preschool

At Little Harding, we are committed to providing a safe, loving environment where children are taught about God’s love and encouraged to explore and learn. We encourage curiosity and exploration through hands-on activities. Our pre-school curriculum prepares little ones for the transition to lower school, and our program helps identify learning difficulties early. With special offerings like kindermusik and Spanish, Little Harding students are sure to be ready for lower school.
