Friday, December 06, 2019
Lincoln School in Providence broke ground on a 4,700 square-foot Little School expansion Wednesday.
Little School offers boys and girls six weeks to three-years-old Reggio-Emilia inspired instruction with a focus on exploration and hands-on discovery.
“There has long been a demand for this project, and we are so thrilled to see it come to life today. I am continuously amazed at our youngest students, who keep me inspired and full of joy day after day. I am perhaps only more amazed by the dividends a Little School education pays, like a lifelong love of learning and constant curiosity. For 25 years, Lincoln’s Little School has been leading the way, and I’m excited that the next evolution of Lincoln’s campus will help elevate this already outstanding program,” said Lough, Lincoln’s Director of Early Childhood and Little School.

Little School Expansion
The new Little School facility was designed by studioMLA Architects of Brookline, MA, and will be built in partnership with Deslandes Construction of Warwick.
The addition will feature two cutting-edge classrooms, a dedicated outdoor play area for all-weather activities, as well as a Reggio-Emilia Studio, which brings the philosophy to life through loose parts and natural elements to encourage creative and imaginative play.
Little School’s Reggio-Emilia-inspired approach honors children as individuals who are curious about their world and have the powerful potential to learn from all that surrounds them.
