Little Panthers Pre-K Academy
About Little Panthers
We believe that in the right environment a child’s natural curiosity and creativity leads to endless opportunities to grow in knowledge and develop a love of learning. We provide that environment at multiple centers by making it a safe and nurturing place where your child will be encouraged to build, splash, dash, pretend and create their way to exciting discoveries about the world around them. We allow children to join the NRCSD Family as a Pre-K student and to stay with us throughout their school years.

Each day is a chance for your child to grow socially, cognitively, emotionally, and physically. As early as Pre-K, your child will be provided with learning opportunities adapted to fit his or her age, developmental stage, and learning style. Preschool makes it possible for you to provide your child with the care and education that will help them become happy, healthy lifelong learners.
