Child Development Center

Little Big Time Child Development - Our child development preschool program for ages 2 to pre-kindergarten fosters community values and ideals, while incorporating Native American tradition. We provide a culturally supportive environment as a method of teaching children. Each child is met with the “Three Gifts” – the gift of love, the gift of time, and the gift of understanding.

Language Preservation

Preserving our culture is the key to a tribe's survival. Our language was once forbidden, almost forgotten, remember it and speak it! Our tongues nearly lost our songs, find them and sing them! Our feet almost lost the beat of the foot drum, listen to it and dance!
