Luxe Little Ones Academy

Providing exceptional care for your little ones
Philosophy
Luxe Little Ones Academy (LLOA) is a play-based daycare inspired by the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) early childhood concept. Our approach centers on developmental learning including social-emotional skills, self-regulation, and an understanding of the world around them. We emphasize the importance of building trusting relationships through consistent, attentive caregiving.
We use an emergent curriculum approach, which means we design and organize activities based on our observations of each child's interests and developmental milestones. By tailoring our plans to what children are curious about and working to achieve, we ensure that their learning experiences are both relevant and supportive of their growth.
Our daily activities may include plenty of time outdoors, dramatic play, art, sand and other sensory play, neighborhood walks, and circle time. We provide simple and age appropriate toys for different developmental stages, with the idea of children becoming active participants in their play.
As the children grow, we nurture their understanding of emotional intelligence by discussing feelings openly, incorporating storytelling into our group activities, and engaging in activities that help them recognize and express their emotions effectively.
