A special message from the Director, Phyllis Reinhard:

Welcome to the wonderful and exciting world of early childhood education! The Little Flyers Academy is a Child Care Center, formally called the NAFEC Association Childcare Center. It has been in operation since 1989. In 2021, Reggio's Treehouse began operations of the center. 

It is our mission to provide your child with a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn and grow. At Little Flyers Academy your child will be given the opportunity to develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually at their own pace.

Children ages 6 weeks through Pre-kindergarten will have the opportunity to explore the world around them. Preschool education lays the foundation for your child's future school success. Allow us to open the door to a positive attitude towards learning.

Hours of operation are: 6:45am to 5:30pm. Monday through Friday.

If you are interested in your child becoming part of our family please contact Ms. Phyllis Reinhard at 609-485-5429 or Phyllis.ctr.reinhard@FAA.GOV or email us at lfa@reggiostreehouse.com. 

Our Philosophy

The LFA follows a developmentally appropriate "hands-on" curriculum through Creative Curriculum and the Reggio Emilia approach to ECE. Educators who are experienced in the development and education of young children will be teaching your child. The low staff ratios allow for lots of individual attention.

In a caring and positive atmosphere, we create a warm and happy place for your child to learn and grow. As we bridge the gap from home to school, we guide children towards developing good self-esteem, at the same time building social skills. Sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through “hands-on” materials and activities that are both child-centered and educator-directed. Activities are planned that emphasize the process rather than the product, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition. Schedules are designed which balance structure and free choice, as well as active and quiet times.

YOUR CHILD'S JOURNEY TO SUCCESS BEGINS NOW!
