At Little Stare Preschool, we believe in creating a nurturing environment where every child can shine bright like the stars. Our unique approach focuses on tailoring academic instruction to meet the specific needs of each age group while fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

While the large preschool room is a shared space for children aged 3-5 years old, we understand the importance of age-appropriate instruction. That's why academic activities are separated into two groups: Group 1 as Ursa Minor (3-4 years old) and Group 2 as Ursa Major (4-5 years old), ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and support.

But it's not just about academics – outdoor play is at the heart of our philosophy. We believe that nature is the best classroom, and our outdoor spaces provide endless opportunities for exploration, discovery, and hands-on learning. Whether it's digging in the dirt, exploring in nature, or creating masterpieces in our outdoor art studio, children have the freedom to learn and grow in a natural environment.

For our 3-4 year old age group, it's all about exploration. Through sensory experiences, learning through play, and imaginative play, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. From building outdoors to pretending to be astronauts exploring outer space, every moment is an opportunity for discovery and wonder.

Step into Ursa Major Preschool, the final frontier before kindergarten, where every day is filled with excitement, growth, and endless possibilities. Our spacious classroom is shared between children aged 3-5 years old, but academic instruction and small group activities are divided into two groups: Ursa Minor (3-4 years old) and Ursa Major (4-5 years old), ensuring personalized care and instruction tailored to each child's developmental stage.

As the last step before kindergarten, Ursa Major is designed to foster independence, growth, and academic readiness. Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to provide a balance of structured learning and free exploration, laying the foundation for future success while ensuring that every child has a blast along the way.

Outdoor learning is a cornerstone of our program, with our outdoor classroom providing the perfect setting for hands-on exploration and discovery. From nature walks to visits to the Haile Planetarium and W. Frank Steely Library, we take full advantage of our surroundings on the NKU campus to offer a well-rounded and unique learning experience.
