Little Scholars Academy of St. Mary School Chardon was established in 2004 and complies with the laws of the State of Ohio and the guidelines from the Office of Catholic Education of the Diocese of Cleveland.
The primary purpose of Little Scholars Academy of St. Mary School Chardon is to provide a transition from home to a school atmosphere. While recognizing that family relationships provide the young child with the best model for developing values, attitudes, and appropriate behavior, we also provide the preschool-aged child an opportunity for interaction with other children and adults.
Our Preschool/Pre-Kindergarten program promotes the spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth of the young child through age-appropriate developmental experiences and play activities.
