"I have come to know Amanda as someone who is continually seeking ways to challenge herself, reflect, and to best meet students’ needs. The most significant characteristic of Amanda’s is her strong work ethic. She works closely with her grade-level teammates to plan comprehensive units that are driven by state standards and student data. "

"Thank you so much for welcoming me to your [class] today. This was an absolute highlight of my day (my cheeks still hurt from smiling). Your [students] were so engaged in ALL parts of their guided reading lesson. This is definitely a result of your teamwork, reflecting, planning, pacing, and love for what you do and for THEM! ...I can tell how much they will miss you...!"

"Little Learners Papillion is amazing! Amanda has amazing credentials and a knack for teaching (and connecting with) young kids. She is a parent’s dream with great communication, well laid out schedules, and play based curriculum. I cannot recommend her enough!"
-Tess S, Parent
"Miss Amanda is amazing! ...My girls always look forward to going, and I never had to stress- knowing they were in great hands. From check-ins and conversations, I know she is always thinking about the child as a whole, always trying to figure out what makes them tick as an individual, and how to best support them. I truly believe Little Learners Papillion is a hidden gem, and while I want to keep it a secret for selfish reasons, I think everyone should get the chance to experience the magic. "
-Michaela S, Parent and Teacher

"Miss Amanda and Little Learners Papillion has been an integral component of our daughter’s development. Miss Amanda provides deep attention and care regarding educational development as well as social and emotional development. Miss Amanda is highly communicative and open to feedback and conversations regarding the best way to support our daughter’s needs during her time at LLP. We couldn’t be more thankful for all Miss Amanda and LLP has provided to support our daughter’s growth...LLP has truly been a gift to our family. "
-Angela S, Parent and Speech-Language Pathologist
"...Miss Amanda's passion for teaching is evident every day and we love that her approach to learning focuses on the whole child. Our daughter enjoys spending time with her friends there and I like that we've gotten to know Miss Amanda, her family, and other families through the monthly family play sessions. The part-time options fit our needs perfectly and it's easy to sign up for the dates and times we need. We highly recommend Little Learners!"
-Carrie S, Parent

Little Learners Papillion
Philosophy, Purpose, and Objectives
Kindergarten is becoming more and more rigorous each year. Students need to be able to sit still on the carpet for learning time, know their letters, sounds, numbers, colors, shapes, social skills, follow directions, and much more on day one. While there are many benefits to children staying home with family when they are young, there are potential gaps in learning. Without the experience of a school setting, it is easy for children to fall behind.
That’s where Little Learners Papillion comes in. We will help your child practice these necessary skills to prepare them for their elementary education. And have some fun along the way!
1️⃣We bridge the gap between home and school when it comes to academic, social, emotional and the structure of a school setting.
2️⃣We provide part-time care solutions for families who don’t require full time care (or full time pricing).
3️⃣We offer continued education and long-term relationships through tutoring and playgroups.
ABOUT MS. AMANDA, BSEEd
(she, her)
The lead teacher, Ms. Amanda, graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a BA in Elementary Education and an emphasis in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). She has also completed further education in the areas of the Science of Reading and Behavior Management.
While Ms. Amanda attended UNO, she worked at the UNO Childcare Center. She worked with children from the ages of toddler to preschool as a teaching assistant. After she graduated, Ms. Amanda taught fifth grade for one year, then three years of first grade in Papillion La Vista Community Schools.
Ms. Amanda enjoys painting, singing in the shower, and scrolling through Instagram for creative ideas. Ms. Amanda and her husband, Mr. Dave, have a two-year-old and love to explore and learn with him. Her little family is obsessed with their two cats, whom you may see roaming around during learning time. They even support a local cat shelter, Felius Cat Café.

What is your cancellation policy?
Membership is based on enrollment, not on attendance. LLP does not require an enrollment fee, so your payment/selection of days hold your spot.
Keep in mind that teaching requires a lot of planning and preparation. In addition, you are holding a spot that another family could use.
That being said, if you signed up for the daily rate and need to cancel, you may do so if you give at least one week's notice. This will give other families time to claim your cancelled spot. Thank you for understanding!
What ages do you accept?
For Preschool, we are currently accepting students ages 18 months - 5 years.
For tutoring, we accept up to fifth grade.
