Our Mission

Our Mission: To create an early learning environment for young children that encourages creativity, independence, self-confidence and inquisitive learning.  It is our hope that each child leaves LRLC with the ability to be a kind and contributing member of their community and a steward of their environment.

Our Philosophy: We encourage children to learn at their own pace in ways that are best for them.  Positive adult role models and peer interactions help children to develop good work habits and a positive sense of self.  

Our Goals: Our curriculum goals reflect the Montana Early Learning Standards which promote the social, emotional, cognitive (intellectual) and physical development of each child.  These standards “ensure that children from birth to age five have the skills and knowledge needed to achieve success in learning and reach their full potential in life”.  While striving to attain maximum development in these areas, LRLC’s prime concern is the child’s emerging sense of self-esteem.
