LITTLE SCHOOL

LITTLE SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the HAWTHORNE-CEDAR KNOLLS UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in HAWTHORNE, NY with about 49 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 10th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, LITTLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **LITTLE SCHOOL**, located at 226 Linda Avenue in Hawthorne, New York, is a long-standing early childhood education center primarily serving preschool-aged children. Situated in a quiet, residential section of Westchester County, the school is well-regarded for its intimate and nurturing environment. It focuses on providing a foundational educational experience that emphasizes social-emotional development, early literacy, and basic cognitive skills through play-based learning and structured classroom activities.

The school is known for maintaining a community-oriented atmosphere, often drawing families from the surrounding Hawthorne and Mount Pleasant areas. By keeping class sizes relatively small, the program aims to offer personalized attention to each child, helping them transition into more formal schooling environments. Its location on Linda Avenue provides a suburban setting that is easily accessible for local parents, reinforcing its role as a stable and supportive fixture within the local neighborhood's educational landscape.
