About the school

Little Leaders Learning Academy offers full-time programs for children age six weeks through five years, including VPK. The school began serving the Fort Lauderdale community in 2013. It’s open from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, with both before-care and after-care with transportation. The staff believes the old saying, “it takes a village,” and they incorporate the support of “our local community including businesses, churches, organizations, and committed individuals.”

Educational philosophy and administration

Little Leaders Learning Academy follows an interactive, faith-based curriculum to help develop young minds and bodies. Teachers “thoughtfully interact with the children and plan experiences that support all the content areas taught, such as literacy, mathematics, science, social studies and the arts.” Students enjoy a wide variety of activities including arts and crafts, sculpting with wood and ice, collages and mixed media. They also have ample opportunities to interact with technology to help them improve their math and reading skills via games and activities. Children get out of the classroom with field trips to museums, movies and parks. Reverend Hazel and Lonnie Young founded Little Leaders Learning Academy as part of the WWJD Youth Outreach Ministry, Inc., believing children “learn best by doing.” The teachers are all certified and active in their faith-based communities. The staff strives to create a nurturing environment, which one parent believes is successful, “The love and learning that your child will receive is second to none.”
