It's time, or perhaps it will be soon, for your little one to enter the brand new world of kindergarten. Or maybe you're just looking for a change in kindergarten choices. Either way, it's a big step. There are plenty of options and quite a few things that matter to you in making the decision.
About Little Raptors - Why is it called that?
The mascot for our school is a raptor. The word "raptor" is derived from the Latin word "rapere," which means "to seize." Raptors are birds of prey that particularly love the Lake Lure, Hickory Nut Gorge region. It is not uncommon to see hawks, vultures, falcons, eagles, and osprey in our area.
Raptors are acutely aware of their surroundings, intelligent, and often fly in flocks for greater teamwork impact. Among all their feathered friends, they can soar to some of the highest heights in the bird world.
LLCA students are challenged to soar to new heights academically and personally, beginning day one in kindergarten and throughout their educational journey at LLCA.
TUITION-FREE - If you've been paying for private Pre-K or Kindergarten, the Little Raptors Kindergarten is tuition-free. It's a public charter school that is totally free for all North Carolina children.

But we know that what you really care about in today's competitive world is an educational setting focused on technology, programs, outdoor learning, safety, and world-class facilities that distinguish one school from another.
