In 1985 I looked for a traditional nine-month preschool program for my daughter and found there were very few choices. I visited one, Little Tigers Preschool, which I really liked. I found caring and loving staff implementing a developmentally appropriate program. I enrolled my daughter and she had a great experience!
Our focus is based on the concepts of goals and plans for children to acquire skills and knowledge through developmentally appropriate activities, experiences and learning opportunities. To guide the children and our staff in this process Little Tigers Preschool uses a research-based, curriculum that aligns with the State of Ohio's early learning content standards.
Our kindergarten enrichment program is designed to "wrap around" your child's first public-school experience and we tailor it to your child's kindergarten schedule. Our enrichment activities include lessons in science, literature, art and math as well as physical activities for young children. Transportation to or from school is included in your rate.
Our before and after school care program offers enrichment activities for children 1st through 4th grade needing a safe and nurturing environment. Our teaching staff provides enrichment activities in science, literature, art and math as well as appropriate physical activities for young children during our morning class hours from 6:30am - 8:30am and afternoon classes from 4:00pm-5:30pm.
I am the Director of Little Tigers Preschool, Inc. I am one of the original co-founders of Little Tigers in 1983, believing that the Pickerington, OH area needed a high quality educational experience for preschool children. Since then our Step Up To Quality 3 Star rating allows us to continue to offer a high quality educationly appropriate experience for young children.

My son absolutely loved Little Tigers. He was excited to go to school every morning, loved all of his teachers and fellow peers. Even during the pandemic where we could not go inside and masks were required, he made it through. Thank you Ms. Cassie for your hard work and commitment! I recommend LT to all of my Pickerington friends and clients.

Please do not take your kids here. They talk about children in front of them and directly to them in ways that are unacceptable. And next to nothing is done to address it.
Our 3 yr old initially some trouble w/ the potty, which they seemed to make worse. Eventually he became fully potty trained—everywhere but at Little Tigers, which we thought was strange. After another exasperated teacher informed me my son had 4 accidents in a day (opposed to maybe 1 every 2 weeks outside of this facility), I was frustrated. Then I noticed they left him barefoot. He peed on his shoes (but they did not call

We LOVE Little Tigers, and our kids do, too. Our 4 year old and almost 2-year-old have been going there for 5 months, and they have really enjoyed it from the beginning. The teachers are very caring and it is obvious our children are learning and are well-cared for. In the toddler room I am impressed with the level of patience the teachers have, and I can tell that they love my son. I imagine the person mentioned in the review below mine must not be there anymore because I cannot imagine either toddler teacher behaving that way. In the preschool room the teachers are knowledgeable, friendly and
