Little Theatre School
HistoryFounded in 1944 by a vaudeville and an elocutionist, Little Theatre School has been educating young children in the North Shore area for over 70 years. The founders started with teaching drama/theatre to young children, thus, the origin of the name Little Theatre. Over the last 70 years, the school has been expanded to include academic components, first for kindergarten, then prekindergarten and nursery. Little Theatre School has a long history of uniquely combining early childhood education with music and drama. Each class enjoys 30 or 45 minutes of a music program each week. Using music as a teaching tool, students learn about music theory, rhythmic patterns and expressive movements, all to develop listening, following instructions, math, literacy, self-expression and motor skills. Children are exposed to a variety of genres, composers, artists, and instruments. They act out beloved nursery rhymes and drama plays, all to promote creativity and self-confidence.SpecialtiesLittle Theatre School is a private preschool that has been educating young children in Lynn, Lynnfield, Peabody, Saugus, Salem and nearby north shore communities since 1944. Our mission is to be the most wonderful and positive first school experience for your child that will lead to a lifelong love of learning.
