Frequently Asked Questions
How does Little Disciples Learning Academy fit into your educational goals?
Think of us as your educational and developmental partner. As a parent, you aim to provide your children a LOT – love, safety, comfort, education, nutrition, social skills, health, and mental well-being. Our program is designed to support you in fostering your child’s intellectual, social, emotional, and Christian growth.
What type of families use our program?
Stay-at-home or work-from-home parents, homeschool families, families with recently adopted children, special needs children, nannies & au pairs, grandparents, aunts & uncles, and children with illness. Anyone with a child under their care from ages 2.5-6 can benefit from our program.
What subjects will my child learn?
Our curriculum was developed to be very well-rounded with a special emphasis on tying a Christian worldview into our learning. We cover a wide range of subjects, such as literacy/reading, math, art, language, social studies, science, physical education and more. We develop the child intellectually, socially, and emotionally to give them a head start on kindergarten and life.
Will my child pay attention?
Usually, though rarely on the first day. Attention is a skill children learn, the same way they learn numbers, and the classes are built at a length and shape that children aged 2.5 to 6 can actually manage. Most need a few sessions before they settle: joining in, answering when Mrs. Kiki asks, sitting through the part they did not choose. That settling-in is not your child failing the class. It is the thing the class teaches.
What ages does the developmental program serve?
Our program is perfect for children ages 2.5-6. These ages are recommended based on developmental milestones most children meet while in this age range.
Are you year round & when can we enroll?
Yes, we are year-round! You can enroll at any time. Our curriculum starts in the fall and concludes in the summer before restarting.
How does the free week work?
Your first week is free, and it matches the plan you choose — one day a week means one free class, five days means five. Your child joins real classes with real classmates, so the week is exactly what enrolling feels like. Nothing is charged until the free week ends, and if you stop before then you pay nothing at all.
What is the cancelation policy?
You can cancel your subscription at any time before the next billing cycle.
What is at home learning?
We understand you’re busy & may not be an expert in the field of early education. However, you still want the best for your child. We allow you to spend quality time with your child, while getting the development and education they need. Mrs. Kiki will teach live classes via Zoom so your child can learn from the comfort of your home. We focus on the educational piece so you can provide a well-rounded life for your child.
Is the free week really free?
Yes! Our free week really is free. Cancel within the free trial period and we will not bill your credit card on file.
Is Mrs. Kiki an experienced teacher?
Yes! She is a toddler homeschooling mom of two, a former High School English teacher, substitute teacher, and nanny. She has a degree in Sport Management with a minor in English and is currently studying to obtain her MFA in Creative Writing and is seminary trained.
What device or app do I need for class?
You will need a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone with internet access, a camera, and the Zoom application so your child can participate and see their teacher and classmates optimally. Some parents cast the screen onto their television so their children can see even better.
Are parents/caregivers involved in classes?
Our classes are designed so children, with the help and guidance of their teacher, can participate with minimal support from their caregivers. Generally, caregivers set up the supplies at the beginning of class and stay near if the children need help and supervision.
Still have questions?
The quickest answer is usually a class. Come and see one — your first week is free.
