About the School
- Little Flowers Early Childhood Center was known as Excelsior Preschool.
- Founded in 1986, Excelsior Preschool was then transferred to another owner who lead the school until November 1995.
- I, Bernadette Martelly-Paul purchased Excelsior Preschool and changed the name to Little Flowers Early Childhood Center.
- Our Philosophy of Little Flowers Early Childhood Center is to provide a safe, family-like environment.
- We recognize that each child is a unique individual with a personality and talents distinct from others, and that basic needs to establish trust, satisfy curiosity and maintain good health are shared by all.
- We believe in educating the whole child, intellectually, emotionally, physically and artistically.
- We believe in the importance of learning basic skills of math, reading, and spelling through a myriad of teaching techniques and mediums.
