Little Lambs Preschool

About Us

Little Lambs began in 1987 as part of a Christian School in Williamsport. Holly Tillman established the preschool with the heart’s desire to have a school that supported the Christian values of young families in the community.

We also set a high standard for training the children for their formal education by giving the children a secure, safe and stimulating environment to learn in.

Our concentration is repetition with variety in small classes. We started with three classes with an enrollment of 30 and 3 staff. We now have about 60+ students with 11 staff and 6 classes.

Our preschool program runs September thru May and concludes with a graduation program that is theme based and dress up. We then run a smaller summer program from June through August that includes kindergarten graduates.

Please check out our available preschool and childcare programs.
