About Us
Little Learners Academy was birthed from a large vision in a small environment.
LLA started as an in-home daycare of 7 children and has evolved into a childcare center that has served several hundred families over the past 9 years.
Little Learners Academy is a family owned business that embraces each individual that enters the building. The owners have several years of training and experience that make them more than qualified to speak and teach the scripture “Train up a Child”. (Proverbs 22:6)
Little Learners Academy first opened its doors in 2015 at
102 Pinecrest Dr Mauldin SC. In 2020, we moved to our current location at 437 W Butler Rd Mauldin, SC.
