Programs
Early Childhood
We proudly offer a nurturing daycare and early childhood program serving infants through age three. Designed to support each child’s developmental journey, our classrooms provide a warm, engaging environment where learning unfolds through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships. While we do not offer a 4-year-old program at the moment, our 2’s and 3’s classes thoughtfully prepare children with strong social, emotional, and foundational skills that set the stage for a successful transition to Pre-K.
2s Program
Our 2’s program gently introduces children to the routines and joys of school through play, exploration, and loving structure. Using familiar themes like Family, Fall, and Our Neighborhood, children build early social–emotional skills, practice kindness, and learn classroom routines. Foundational literacy and math skills are woven into daily play through listening to stories, following directions, counting, matching, and exploring shapes. Fine and gross motor skills develop through art, movement, climbing, tracing, and hands-on materials—creating a joyful, supportive start to learning.

3s Program
Our 3's program builds on the foundation of the 2’s, supporting growing independence, social awareness, and early academic readiness. Children explore familiar themes with deeper curiosity while developing friendship skills, empathy, and problem-solving with guidance. Pre-reading and early math skills become more intentional through letter work, name recognition, rhyming, counting with accuracy, number recognition, and problem-solving. Fine and gross motor skills are strengthened through drawing, cutting, tracing, coordinated movement, and early name writing—helping children grow confident, capable, & ready for Pre-K.

Infant & Toddler Programs
Brooklyn Little Learners (formally Ia's Learning Tree) operates five daycare programs and is now enrolling for our sixth location, Windsor Terrace Little Learners. Founded by Ia, the mother of our owner Teona, our program remains a family-run business rooted in a deep commitment to nurturing young children.
Our infant and toddler programs provide a warm, home-like environment that supports early development and growing independence. Welcoming infants as young as 12 weeks, children engage in intentional play, books, art, music, Spanish, and yoga to build curiosity, communication, and early critical-thinking skills. Daily routines include a calm, separate sleep space that promotes healthy rest.
Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided daily beginning at age one, supporting children’s growth and well-being.

Yoga
Little Learners partners with Espanate to offer engaging yoga sessions for our students. Through movement, music, and props, children learn mindfulness, emotional regulation, and body awareness while enjoying an active and calming experience.
Exploring
We believe in connecting children to their neighborhood through regular walks and community visits. Trips to the library, playgrounds, and local spots help children build curiosity, empathy, and a sense of belonging in the world around them. A highlight for the children is stopping by their beloved bodega where they visit Prince the Cat.
Karate
Tae Kwon Do at Champions
Once a week the children visit Champions to build confidence, focus, & respect through age-appropriate martial arts activities. Obstacle courses, games, and skill practice help children develop balance, coordination, and self-control while having fun.
Music
Music with Mr. Simon
Mr. Simon visits Little Learners weekly to bring joyful, engaging music into our classrooms. A beloved multi-instrumentalist and educator, he captivates children with original songs and familiar favorites that encourage movement, listening, and fun.
Art
Creative art experiences give children the space to explore, imagine, and express themselves. Working with a variety of materials supports fine motor skills, problem-solving, and creative confidence.
Spanish
In partnership with Espanate, children are introduced to Spanish through songs, books, and interactive activities. Learning a second language supports communication skills, cultural awareness, and early empathy in a fun, engaging way.
