We Are Providing an Environment for Our Students to Grow & Excel

Our program is based on a developmental approach that covers important areas of your child’s growth. The kinds of skills that are developed include: Auditory Discrimination, Sensory Perception, Visual Perception, and Self-Awareness.

Our locations offers a wide variety of hours and programs to accommodate the working parent. Beyond childcare we offer both pre-k and kindergarten programs which include an advanced phonics program and creative curriculums based on state standards and current research.

Our Vision

Teaching the Professionals of tomorrow

The infant program is based on curriculum activities designed to help your child develop visual and auditory discrimination, sensory perception, and self-awareness. We work to improve your child’s mobility and coordination as they roll, crawl, and begin to walk.

Our Toddler Program emphasizes learning through play. The daily curriculum provides hands on activities using manipulative materials. Indoor and outdoor activities are planned to encourage learning through discovery in a fun way.

Our 2-3 year old program is based on a child centered creative curriculum where children are provided with a language rich environment to guide their communication and language development. Through daily circle time activities academic skills, such as alphabet, shapes, numbers and counting, and colors will be reinforced, and students are encouraged to become problem solvers and lifelong learners.

Our Pre-Kindergarten is based upon the belief that children benefit from an environment that offers many opportunities to explore, create and interact. Your child will be prepared for the transition to a kindergarten program.

Hand Over Hand provides individualized programing to meet your child’s academic, behavioral, and social goals. Little Learner Academy Denville has incorporated within our school, the Hand Over Hand Center. Our program is designed to systematically teach children according to the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). What makes our program unique is that we offer a full array of center-based services from fully supported inclusion within a traditional preschool class to self-contained classrooms. The center hours are flexible so that we are able to accommodate varied schedules.

Testimonials

What Parents are Saying

“My oldest son has gone through all of the programs in LLA and is now in Kindergarten. My youngest is 3 and has been in the school since he was 6 weeks old. I can’t say enough great things about the staff at LLA. Every step along the way, my children have felt so much love and support.”

Kelly J.

Parent

“Our son has been receiving ABA services from Hand over Hand for the past year and a half. Prior to starting with Hand over Hand, we tried another provider for 9 months and it was a disaster. We were reluctant to start in-home services again, but we can say now that Hand over Hand is one of the best things which happened for our son.”

Upender and Aster K.

Parent of Hand Over Hand Student

“We started both of our sons at Little Learner at 8 weeks old, which was 3 years ago. Every step of the way the staff has been completely transparent and so helpful along the way to first and second time parents. They have great communication and offer advice when necessary without being too overbearing. Over the years, they have become family to us and we are so grateful to have so many people who love our children as much as we do.”
