Program Services Accomplishments (cont.)Little Thinkers provides programs to ensure our children (three months to five years old) become prepared and ready for Kindergarten and are given all the tools they need - including healthy and nutritious meals - for success. Our programming includes tools such as My Way Pre-K and models evidence-based practices from Healthy Families Protective Factors that aim to keep families strong and children safe from child abuse and neglect. We are a Level 3 quality service provider which means we have a planned curriculum, a proven safe and positive environment, invest in the development of staff and incorporate family and staff into the input of the program." At Little Thinkers, we take these formative years by providing qualified experts to develop skills and educate children in order to give them fundamental building blocks for their development. Components of Little Thinks programming include (1) Developmental Learning activities, (2) Experiential Learning activities including field trips, (3) Nutrition Services (snacks and lunches), and (4) Wrap-Around service referrals (food, housing and healthcare referrals). In 2023, Little Thinkers served 190 children.
