Elementary Schools
Little Miami Early Childhood Center
The New Early Elementary School has been designed to support Little Miami’s youngest learners as part of the District’s Master Plan.
The programming and vision of the district curriculum led to a building designed with academic pods to support the children. Each pod is organized with 6 classrooms, a small group room, and ample common flex studio to be shared by the entire pod. This allows for different classrooms to come together to work on common projects or lessons.
The flex studios have been designed to be interactive for the children. The intent of the flex studios is to give the children different learning environments throughout the building.
