Little Learners is a unique and exciting mark making class devised by a qualified teacher. It is designed for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to learn to write through play. Its aim is to develop children’s pre-writing motor skills, as well as their physical development (taking full account of EYFS guidance).
Physical development and mark making are vital skills to obtain in order for children to begin to grip objects, hold a pencil and eventually write. Little Learners classes help to prepare little ones for nursery and school by strengthening gross and fine motor skills, core strength and coordination.
A simple pre-writing program called The Mark Makers is followed which involves learning four types of ‘mark’. These four marks appear in letters, numbers, shape & pattern. Children develop their mark making skills every session by learning and practicing the ‘mark of the week’. In addition to classes, you can also offer parents bespoke Little Learners parties and themed events.
I’ve been a Little Learners Franchisee for 6 years now and can honestly say it’s been the best years of my working life! After 21 years of teaching I needed a change and a job that would give me more time with my family. Little Learners has given me this and so much more! I thoroughly enjoy working for myself, choosing my hours to fit around the school run etc. What I didn’t expect was to be part of such as amazing and supportive team who are there with you every step of the way! To say Little Learners has changed our lives, as a family, would be an understatement. I only wish I’d done it sooner!

Back in 2019 I decided I needed to change my life and do something I enjoy. Since being a Mummy for the first time I realised I wanted to spend more time with my children while they are young. I’m so glad I made the choice to become part of the Little Lerners Franchise. It’s given me that work life balance. I now have a son who is 2 and he comes to classes with me and so does my older daughter. They love it and I love that I can be there for them when they need me. Best decision I have ever made and it’s definitely changed my life for the better.
