About Us

It takes a village — so we built a little one

Little Village started with a simple belief: children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and genuinely delighted in. Every classroom here is built around that idea.

Our teachers aren't minding the clock — they're on the floor, at eye level, following where a child's curiosity leads. We keep our groups small on purpose, so every family gets a real relationship, not a roster number.

  • Small groups, low ratios

    Fewer children per teacher means your child is truly known, not just supervised.

  • Teachers who stay

    Consistent, credentialed educators — because attachment matters more than anything.

  • Open-door family policy

    You are welcome any time. Daily photos and notes so you never wonder how the day went.

Programs

A room for every stage of growing up

From infant care through preschool, Pre-K and school-age programs, children move through our village at their own pace, with familiar faces the whole way. Every group keeps a low ratio so no one gets lost in the crowd.

6 weeks – 12 months4:1 ratio

Infants

We take babies from 6 weeks old, so we're ready when parental leave ends. Gentle, responsive care on your baby's own rhythm — feeding, napping and tummy time follow your routine, not a schedule.

  • Starting from 6 weeks old
  • Your own feeding & nap schedule
  • Daily photo updates
  • Sensory play & floor time
1 – 2 years5:1 ratio

Toddlers

Busy hands and big feelings. Toddlers explore, stack, spill and name the world while we help them learn to share it.

  • Language-rich days
  • Early self-help skills
  • Gentle potty learning
3 – 4 years8:1 ratio

Preschool

Play becomes projects. Children ask real questions and chase the answers through art, stories, building and outdoor discovery.

  • Project-based learning
  • Early literacy & numbers
  • Friendship & problem solving
4 – 5 years10:1 ratio

Kindergarten readiness without the worksheets. Confidence, focus and a genuine love of learning come first.

Our Approach

We borrow the best from every tradition

No single philosophy has all the answers, and children don't fit neatly into one. Our teachers draw from the approaches below and choose what actually serves the child in front of them.

Montessori

Child-led work with beautiful, purposeful materials. Children choose their work and build deep focus and independence.

Reggio Emilia

The child as capable and curious. Learning emerges from their questions, documented and revisited together.

Play-Based

Play is how young children do their most serious thinking. We protect long, uninterrupted stretches of it.

STEAM & Project Work

Science, tech, engineering, art and math woven into real investigations children care about finishing.

Social-Emotional Learning

Naming feelings, repairing friendships, and learning to be kind on purpose. The skill that carries everything else.

In practice: a Montessori practical-life shelf in the toddler room, a Reggio-style documentation wall in preschool, and a whole lot of uninterrupted play everywhere. We'll show you exactly how it works on a tour.

Our Space

Bright rooms, real materials, lots of outside

Every room is designed at a child's height and lit by real daylight. Come walk through it in person — photos never do it justice.

Illustrations shown — real photos coming soon.

Questions

What parents usually ask us

We welcome children from 6 weeks old through 12 years — infants, toddlers, preschool, Pre-K, plus before/after-school care and summer programs for school-age kids. We take newborns as young as 6 weeks, so we can be there right as parental leave ends.

We're open Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, year-round. Saturday visits are available by appointment.

We're at 2243 S Monaco St Pkwy in southeast Denver, minutes from Virginia Village, Goldsmith, University Hills, Wellshire, and Hutchinson Hills — right near James A. Bible Park.

Ratios depend on age: 4:1 for infants, 5:1 for toddlers, 8:1 for preschool, 10:1 for Pre-K, and 12:1 for school-age children — small groups are the heart of how we work.

Yes. New families receive 10% off their first three months, a second child receives a 10% sibling discount, and if you refer a family who enrolls you can choose 10% off one month of tuition or a gift card. Ask a director on your tour and we'll walk you through what applies to your family.

We blend the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, play-based learning, STEAM project work, and social-emotional learning, chosen to fit each child rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Ask us — we're happy to walk you through Colorado UPK and DPP options for your family and help you figure out what your child qualifies for.
