The facts are in! School readiness cannot wait until kindergarten! Learning earlier is learning better!

Between the ages of three and five children are eager to learn. Research has shown that this is the most important time in a child’s development -- when the brain and body form connections essential for future learning and healthy physical growth.

During the first five years of life, children learn:

• Pride and confidence in themselves

• Appropriate behavior and respect for others

• Build foundational skills to learn to read, write, and understand math

• The basics of language

• Coordination and balance

Now is the time they get to know their world, make new friends, and learn important lessons for life!

The Little Wrangler Early Learning Center exists to complement the education objectives of FCSD #24 and provide a safe, encouraging, developmentally appropriate environment for children ages 3-5. Our focus is to provide high-quality stimulating opportunities and care that nurtures young minds with experiences which promote each child’s social/emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our goal is to support children’s desire to be lifelong learners, benefitting our students, staff, families, and the larger community.
