Introducing Academy Lane Littles

You are doing your best, but want to be sure you are doing it right. We offer small-group child development classes for babies, toddlers, and caregivers designed to support communication, movement, and preschool readiness.

Built by Oaklin Lane clinicians, Lane Littles gives families a welcoming place to grow together.

We are now enrolling for the following classes:

Language Link

Ages 6–24 Months

Friday Mornings

Your child's ability to communicate early is one of the strongest predictors of how well they read, make friends, and perform in school.
The Language Link Series builds that foundation in your child starting before they ever say their first word. Your Little will learn to connect, communicate with intention, and use real words — giving them a head start that follows them for life.

Your Little's First Conversations Start Here

Your baby learning to communicate early means fewer tears, faster connection, and a straight path to their first words. This month, your Little will build the back-and-forth skills that turn everyday moments into real communication — responding, copying, and growing the sounds that become their voice.

Week 1

Your child will respond when you pause

Week 2

Your child grows their sounds through play

Week 3

Your child will follow your lead on purpose

Week 4

Your child will copy your sounds and faces

Your Little Starts Communicating on Purpose

Your baby learning to communicate what they need means fewer meltdowns, more confidence, and a much smoother path to talking.
This month, your Little will start communicating on purpose — turning their pointing, reaching, and sounds into messages you'll actually understand. They'll learn to use gestures, respond to routines, and start telling you what they need, before they ever say a word.

Week 1

Your child will show you what they want

Week 2

Your child will find their voice

Week 3

Your child will communicate with sounds and gestures

Week 4

Your child will grow language through music

Your Little Starts Using Real Words

Your baby's first words don't just change how they communicate — they change everything. Your Little having words means less frustration, more independence, and a deeper connection with the people they love.
This month, your Little will learn the skills that move them from sounds and signals into real words, by making choices, copying sounds, and learning to ask for what they want.

Week 1

Your child will learn the words that matter most

Week 2

Your child will practice making real choices

Week 3

Your child will learn to ask for things

Week 4

Your child will be ready to say new words on their own

Preschool Pathway

Ages 2–3 Years

Friday Afternoons

Your child starting school confident, capable, and ready is one of the greatest gifts you can give them — and it starts long before day one.
The Preschool Pathway Series builds that readiness month by month, one skill at a time. Your Little will learn to regulate their body, use their hands independently, and navigate a full school day — so they walk in ready and you leave without looking back.

Enroll in the series

Your Little's Body Gets Ready to Learn

Your child won't get flagged as difficult on day one when their body feels ready — their teacher will see them as capable, and your Little will walk into school feeling like they belong there.
This month, your Little will learn how to feel grounded, calm, and ready to listen. They'll move their way to focus, build the calm their body needs, and practice settling before they ever need it in a classroom.

Week 1

Your child will move their way to focus

Week 2

Your child will learn movements that calm their body

Week 3

Your child will practice calm early

Week 4

Your child will learn to follow directions

Your Little's Hands Will Do the Hard Stuff

Your child believing they can do hard things starts with their hands — and that belief follows them everywhere. This month, your Little will build the hand strength and coordination to handle what school asks of them on day one. They'll learn to use both hands together, take on real tasks independently, and get their hands ready to write.

Week 1

Your child will build real hand strength

Week 2

Your child will use both hands together

Week 3

Your child will prepare their hands to write

Week 4

Your child will learn to do it independently

Your Little Learns How a School Day Works

Your child won't cry at drop-off when they know what comes next — they'll walk in confident, settled, and ready, and you'll leave knowing they're going to be okay.
This month, your Little will practice the exact rhythms of a school day so the first day feels familiar, not frightening. They'll learn to sit in a group, move between activities, listen with their whole body, and know what to expect on day one.

Week 1

Your child will sit and join the group

Week 2

Your child will know what comes next

Week 3

Your child will learn to listen in a group

Week 4

Your child be ready for day one of preschool
