The Dream for Little Children: Honoring Dr. King’s Legacy in Our Gator Family
Every year, we pause to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose words shifted the course of history. While he spoke to presidents and marched with thousands, some of his most profound hopes were reserved for the youngest among us: the children. A Vision of Unity Dr. King envisioned a world where "little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers." He didn't just want children to sit in the sam

Strategy 3: Decode Like a Gator Detective! (Recipe included!!)
When your child gets stuck on a word, don't just tell them the answer! Empower them to figure it out using their detective tools. Sound It Out: Encourage them to listen for the letter sounds: "What sound does the 'st' make?" This builds crucial Phonics skills that are the building blocks of reading. Use the Clues: Guide them to look at the other words in the sentence. "If the big alligator was trying to s___ across the river, what word would make sense here?" This sharpe

The "Dream Job" Reading Toolkit: Strategy #2 — Mix It Up (But Don't Forget the Classics!)
Last week, we talked about Reading to Learn —how students are using books as "toolboxes" to build their future careers. Today, we’re sharing a secret to keeping that momentum going through the holidays: The Power of the Mix! It is so tempting to always hunt for the newest books under the tree, but don't retire those beloved, dog-eared stories just yet! New Books = New Knowledge Expanding your child’s library is like giving them a map to the whole world. A brand-new book about

Hearts Connected: A New Space for Mothers to Grow, Heal, and Feel Supported
Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, uncertainty, hope, questions, and moments that stretch the heart in every direction.

From Womb to Wonder: A Reflection for Families
In the thoughtful spirit of Dr. Dana Suskind’s book, Parent Nation , we are reminded that a child’s journey of learning begins earlier than many of us ever realize — even before their first breath. From the warmth of the womb, a baby is already listening, feeling, and being shaped by the sounds of love, the rhythm of voices, and the steady reassurance of connection. Every soft word spoken, every song hummed, every moment of calm care becomes part of the beautiful foundation f

Bringing Families Back to the Table

At Little Scholars, we encourage families to aim for eating together whether it’s dinner, breakfast, or even a weekend lunch. These moments don’t have to be perfect or elaborat

Teaching Our Little Scholars About Community Helpers
At Little Scholars Schools, we believe that learning about kindness begins with seeing it in action. 💚 This week, our Edu-Gators have been discovering what it means to be a community helper — someone who uses their hands, hearts, and time to make the world a little better for others. We’ve talked about the brave Veterans who serve our country, reminding us that helping is more than a job — it’s a way of showing love and care. To celebrate Veterans Day , our classrooms fil

“Reading Starts with the Heart” — Building a Love of Books from Infancy
At Little Scholars Schools, we believe every great reader begins long before they can read. The journey starts with something simple — a parent’s voice, a baby’s laughter, and the rhythm of a story shared with love. Why Reading Matters — Even for Babies Infants may not understand every word, but they feel your voice. The warmth of your tone, the rise and fall of your sentences, and the comfort of your presence build early pathways in the brain that shape language, focus, and
