Our Teachers
Our very experienced and creative teachers have a passion for both child care as well as the Arts. Each day our teachers guide our children through age appropriate lessons using our research validated curriculum, The Creative Curriculum. In addition to learning the Arts our children learn and grow through age appropriate lessons using the Arts. Our teachers create a stimulating and engaging environment that allows children to learn and develop through lessons involving:
Many other child care centers allow for a small part of their day to work on art, but at Little Prodigies the Arts are a main instrument through which we teach our curriculum lessons.Join our Community

Get Ahead Kids!
We believe getting children involved in the Arts at an early age will give our children a solid foundation for becoming more confident children, teenagers, and eventually young adults. By learning these artistic skills, our children will have the confidence of knowing they have a unique set of skills. This confidence will give our children an advantage from very early in their journey through life. This advantage will likely lead to a broader “life-path” - one filled with greater opportunities and experiences. Pre-register now to reserve your child's seat!Our Family

Our Story
When Wes and Jennifer decided to start a family they knew they would like their son to be exposed to the Arts. They soon realized there was a need for a child care facility that was different - something that had more of an Arts-based approach. They are now excited to be able to teach their son Conner, as well as many other Athens children, the Arts at such an early age and cannot wait to watch them grow!Join Us!
