The Little School is an infant and early childhood learning center for children ages six weeks to four years old, located on the campus of Savannah Country Day School. Our early childhood educators create thematic-based lesson plans using the Georgia Early Learning and Developmental Standards (GELDS) to plan developmentally appropriate activities for their students. Each young child participates in active, engaged play, whereby he/she learns to make wise choices and solve problems. The program meets the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs of each child through a variety of learning opportunities.

Little School students thrive within the daily routine of activities based on the philosophy that young children learn through play. Quality playtime is spent inside and out. Teachers plan regular field trips around campus, allowing the children to enjoy Country Day's 65 acres, including the butterfly garden, organic vegetable garden, turtle pond, science and animal care center, and the various athletic fields and facilities.

If you are interested in learning more about The Little School, please schedule a personalized campus visit. To do so, visit your Country Day portal for self-scheduling options, or contact The Little School. We ask all prospective families to submit an inquiry before visiting campus. (Please note that new accounts must be processed by the Office of Admissions before you can access tour registration.)
