A philosophy of fun and exploration.

Little Village was founded in 1947 as a cooperative preschool that values parent involvement.

Our emergent curriculum focuses on developing social, emotional, and academic skills through play-based learning. 80 years later, Little Village Nursery School continues to be a warm and supportive environment for children, with a friendly community of parents and teachers.
