Little Learners Christian Preschool was started in 1971 by Pastor Herb Snyder, Gay Fries, and Sandy Geisler as an extension of the educational ministry of the Coventryville United Methodist Church. The school enjoyed a history of strong church and community support. The purpose of Little Learners Christian School was to provide children with a safe and caring learning environment. Planned group experiences, independent exploration, learning centers, field trips, and visits by special guests contributed to student development physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
After serving generations of students, the difficult decision was made to close the school at the end of the 2017-2018 school year. It was not an easy decision considering the number of children that passed through the doors and the strong family bonds that were made over the years. However with dwindling enrollment and staffing challenges, it was the right thing to do at the time, saving students from a less-than-optimal learning environment.
The idea to reopen started almost as soon as the doors closed. Due to the popularity of Coventryville’s Vacation Bible School every summer, the buzz to restart operations became louder and more frequent. At the end of 2021, a diversely talented group of volunteers formed a committee to determine if reopening could become a reality.
