PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - LITTLE CREEK!
 Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Did you know Little Creek offers a large number of services, resources, partnerships, and personalized learning for every student in addition to being a level four in Excels
and
having the highest level of accreditation from the state of Maryland? There is no other program in Kent or Queen Anne's Counties that offers this in an early learning setting! Little Creek is an official Judy Center partner and this partnership has allowed for extended staff training, books for the students, curriculum and classroom materials, and much more. Our services and resources include a special education specialist, a speech pathologist, and an occupational therapist. We also work closely with both Kent and Queen Anne's counties so our students receive FREE services in addition to our resources. In fact, it was recently reported that Little Creek refers students for early intervention more than any other non-public school. Little Creek was even recognized at a Judy Center Partners meeting for our staff's ability to recognize red flags and help provide our students with additional support such as intervention for an infant with low muscle tone or a speech evaluation for a two year old.
Little Creek evaluates every student within the first 30 days of admission during the school year. From this evaluation, personalized goals and objectives are chosen by the teachers for our two-year-old through pre-kindergarten classrooms. Once these goals and objectives have been set, a personalized report is generated for each individual student. Every student in Little Creek has a personalized report; there are no two alike. No other program in this area offers this to their students! Our teachers and families work together to complete Ages and Stages Questionnaires as part of ongoing assessments in our Infants through Pre-K classrooms. Little Creek creates a unique learning process to meet each student where they are developmentally. Our classrooms are child-centered, offering a hands-on multi-sensory approach. Our families are given a detailed daily report through an app called Kid's Report, and also a weekly blurb providing a snapshot of the week that includes pictures and helpful information!
Little Creek also offers 10 and 12-month options to all of our families with a multitude of packages for both the school year and summer. We include Inclement Weather Care for every student free of any additional charges and even offer Holiday Care options. Our menu of options is like no other program's in the area. We strive to meet the needs of today's parent!
Little Creek is now accepting applications for summer and the 2018-2019 school year! Please share this with your friends and family and feel free to contact Meg McClary with any questions!
