Little Valley Learning Adventure

"Owners were really nice, loved the place when I was young"

"Little Valley Learning Adventure is a great experience for our little ones. Our daughter can’t wait to go to her preschool to be with her friends and Mrs. Karen. She loves the eclectic farm animals and the unique learning environment. Mr. Ted is a funny guy who the kids love. Mrs. Karen comes with 15+ years experience and is a natural with the little ones. We couldn’t recommend a better preschool to our friends."

"Little Valley Learning Adventure (Karen Parry) is a fabulous local organic preschool run by the sweetest couple Ted and Karen. They go above and beyond to help your child learn, grow and explore the world around them. I have four children and all of mine have gone through this preschool... And excel in school socially and academically! I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a wonderful preschool experience for their little ones!!"

"Little Valley Learning Adventure is truly AMAZING! I never thought I'd find a preschool that was a good fit for my son, but Little Valley Learning Adventure is a match made in heaven! Here's what I like about Little Valley Learning Adventure: - Mrs and Mr Parry - They are just fantastic people! Patient, kind, caring, welcoming, patient, gentle spirits, great values, intelligent, patient, flexible but not wishy/washy,engaging, able to see each child as an individual while making them feel a welcome member of the class, did I mention patient? - Although the children have structured learning time with lessons, music/song, games, books, arts and crafts, the Parry's understand the value of letting children learn through play and interacting with one another and their environment - The environment at Little Valley is very organic, rich with exploration opportunities, and the children are allowed to explore with patient guidance while building on their curious nature. There is a play structure with sand to play and build, lots of beautiful animals to feed, pet and simply appreciate (goats, lamb, pig, chickens, ducks, rabbits, pheasant, quail, peacock/hen, puppies). Also, the environment encompasses the attitudes of the teachers who are very real people. They don't have to put on masks of patience or caring...they are and they do. My son felt comfortable immediately and I've never felt more welcome as a parent. - Walking into a setting where my high energy boy is calm, yet excited because he has a loving respect for his teachers and peers= priceless - Mommy and me days (first Friday of the month) allowed my son (and me) to become familiar with Little Valley, other kids and Mrs and Mr Parry in a no pressure environment before enrolling. Little Valley Learning Adventure has wiped away all doubt that a quality preschool exists. My son is not only learning about "life under the sea", letters, numbers, shapes, using various arts and crafts media (scissors, glue, paint, etc), but he is learning about real life in an all around safe environment where his heart and mind are nurtured. My heart and mind are at ease knowing he is in such good hands!"

"My son has attended school here for a year now. I have known the owners of Little Valley Learning Adventure pretty much my whole life, so I know what wonderful people they are. The atmosphere of the school is so warm & inviting. Mrs.Parry is absolutely amazing with the kids, she shows such love to each & every child, Her approach to teaching is one of the reasons I like the school so much, she definitely has a gift. The animals are another great addition to the school, the kids have enjoyed watching the animals grow & have thus bonded with them. I couldn't have asked for a better place for Grant to attend, he absolutely loves "His School" My 20 month old will begin attending as soon as he is potty trained."
