Little Chefs, Big Learning! 🥗

That kitchen set isn’t just a toy—it’s a powerful learning tool! When your child stirs, scoops, and serves, they’re building vocabulary, motor skills, creativity, early math, and science skills—all through play! ⭐

Play side-by-side and support their learning with simple prompts like:
“What are you making?”
“Can you share some with...?”
“Let’s count how many pieces we need!”
“Tell me what you’re doing and why!”

Learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends—it lives in everyday moments like these.

Our Story

“Le Chaperon Rouge" was established in 1982. Founder Stella Moga, MA in education, began this undertaking with the firm belief that some existing day care centers were inadequately preparing children for the rigors of school and the challenges of adulthood.

Mrs. Moga discovered in many facilities a tendency to create unnecessary levels of stress in the young child. To minimize this factor, "Le Chaperon Rouge" teaches using educational play. Children readily accept knowledge and information when it is presented in this manner . By making learning fun, performance-related stress can be greatly reduced. Additionally, the child who learns to associate achievement with pleasure can be expected to function more successfully as an adult.

A second and equally problematic factor exhibited by many centers is a general lack of quality supervision. The unfortunate fact is that some centers provide little more than mass baby-sitting services. In such settings, precious little care or attention is given to the individual child. Emotional and intellectual development suffers greatly in environments of this type.

At "Le Chaperon Rouge," the complete young person is nurtured and cared for. In the years since its inception, "Le Chaperon Rouge" has consistently provided child care and development services that are recognized and lauded by parents and educators alike. We have former students now working or bringing their own children to the program.
