Little Owlets Multi-Lingual Early Learning Center, Germantown

Little Owlets Academy - early learning center with the focus on the intellectual, moral, social, emotional and physical needs of each child. Our goal is to keep the lights in your children's eyes on at all times and into their adult lives. When babies are born, their eyes are filled with so much joy, curiosity and bliss we call that lights! These little beings want to play, please and love. As they mature into toddlers, children, teenagers and then adults the lights start dimming down as play turns into work, pleasure turns into effort and love turns into hurt. Our program is based on years of research by family therapists and scientists, who put the biggest focus on keeping the lights on through interactive play, no matter the age. We extend our approach into the families of each child. Our primary focus is on: - Establishing a safe and nurturing environment - Respecting rules and boundaries - Discovering talents and abilities - Learning through projects and other team-based activities - Engaging families in everything that we do - Learning from each other We focus on intellectual, moral, social, emotional and physical needs of each child.
