Our mission at Parsons' Little Scholars is to offer private child care for children 6-weeks through 6th grade with a daily curriculum that is designed specifically to enhance and stimulate the creative minds of each age level.
We offer your child the opportunity, through small classes and individual instruction, to learn and discover at his/her own pace.
Our students, alumni, parents and staff are the driving force for the betterment of the economic, social, cultural, and recreational life of our community through life-long learning and active engagement.
We believe that self-confidence and a healthy self-image are foundations a child can build upon to develop his/her own special personality.
We provide a secure and loving atmosphere that allows your child to develop and grow in social and emotional maturity.
Positive encouragement, through trial and error and the joy of accomplishment are rewarding assets in developing your child's growing abilities and self-esteem.
We are constantly striving to improve our total care and increase our knowledge of early childhood education to combine the best qualities of home and school.
With your help, we can provide the best "home away from home" environment for your child.
