Family-Owned Means Exceptional Care

In 2013, Teacher Brenda and her husband Todd started Little Vikings 4K at Immanuel Lutheran Church. They opened the Academy of Little Vikings in 2015. Every “Little Viking” embarks on a learning voyage filled with fun, new ideas, and friendships.

OUR VISION

It Is Our Vision That Every Child Who Walks Through Our Doors Meets Friends, Families, & Teachers Engaged In The Work, Joy, & Wonder Of Early Childhood.

The Core Values That Guide Your Little Viking's Way:

COMMUNICATION

Communication is how we understand and support your child and each other, creating a unified team with the same mission.

CONSISTENCY

Everyone practices excellence every day and strives to improve and learn more because learning is an ongoing journey.

KINDNESS

Practicing kindness brings your child closer to their family and friends, and forges a better community one act at a time.

FUN

Learning through play is the best way! Hands-on learning with friends makes every day a magical adventure where your child conquers the skills they need to thrive.
