Little Hearts Early Learning Program
Little Hearts is an early learning program for toddler and nursery girls located on the Mater Campus of the Academy of the Sacred Heart. Using the best practices from a variety of educational approaches, Little Hearts provides a hands-on, child-centered early education program in a caring, nurturing environment.
The faculty is comprised of teachers and administrators who love children. They are educated in child development and understand and embrace the value of early education. They are responsive, receptive, aware of the needs of early learners, and eager to cooperate with parents to promote each child's optimal growth and development.
The school recognizes and understands that the early years are years of learning and discovery, and teachers work with each child to help her grow in all areas of her development. The primary aim is to enable each child to develop a positive self-concept and an optimistic attitude towards learning. As a Sacred Heart institution, the New Orleans school shares a philosophy and spirit with the Network of Sacred Heart Schools and Sacred Heart schools throughout the world.
