Taking the Beginning Steps Together for Fort Wayne's Future

At Little Thinkers School of Early Learning, we believe in the power of personal connection and community. Unlike large-scale child care operations, we offer a warm, immersive experience right here in Fort Wayne, where each child is known, valued, and nurtured.

With smaller group sizes than our competitors, an environment thoughtfully tailored to children's developmental needs, the peace of mind that comes with security cameras in our classrooms, and a flexible schedule not dictated by a national chain, we are proud to provide care that feels close to home.

We’re Here When You Need Us Most.
Even during the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic, our doors remain open for families in need of reliable, high-quality care. Our experienced and compassionate staff are ready to care for your child while you head to work, knowing they’re safe, supported, and thriving.

Our Classes

Every Detail is Designed With Your Child in Mind

We're proud to be a vital part of Fort Wayne's past, present, and future.

  • When your child enters, they'll face challenges of every stripe and color, from learning obstacles to new social situations. With our small class size and superior instructors, we'll help your young one turn these challenges into success stories.

    It may sound simple, but before starting school, any child can benefit from learning how to learn. With Fort Wayne pre-school child care by Little Thinkers School of Early Learning, your child will be well prepared for the structure, social life, and learning opportunities of school.

    While some Fort Wayne pre-school programs offer rigid instruction, Little Thinkers School of Early Learning prefers to create a dynamic environment where behavior and social interaction matter just as much as letters and numbers. Your child's care provider will take the time to respond to all questions fully and deeply rather than only giving superficial answers.

    In addition to beginning academics, the Little Thinkers program in Fort Wayne also addresses social issues as well. Providing opportunities to accept responsibility, learn healthy habits, and interact positively to all types of children, we're certain your child will be ready for their new experiences at school.
