Little Lab: Where Lesson Plans Meet the Best Preschool Curriculum

Written by Elizabeth Wu | Jan 8, 2026 11:31:05 AM

Little Lab gives teachers access to the best curriculum for preschools, complete with ready lesson plans, training tools, and real classroom support.

Preschools and kindergartens today are expected to do more than care for children. You’re shaping early learning, tracking development, managing classrooms, and building trust with families, often all at once.

It’s a lot to keep up with, especially when you are already stretched and administrators are trying to balance quality with time.

That takes more than effort. It takes support.

That’s where Little Lab comes in.

Little Lab is a digital platform built to support how you teach, plan, and communicate. It brings together easy planning tools, customized lesson plans, child progress tracking, and parent communication tools, all in one place. It helps you stay organized and focused, so you can spend less time on admin and more time with your class.

Tools That Help You Do Your Best Work
You wear many hats. You run activities, guide emotions, log observations, share updates with parents, and manage transitions. And you do it all with care and focus. But juggling it on your own isn’t sustainable.

Little Lab gives you practical support. Here’s how:

  • Daily and weekly lesson plans that are ready to use
  • A space to log observations as they happen
  • Child progress tracking that’s quick and easy to update
  • Curated lesson recommendations and projects you can adapt for your class

Everything is right there on the platform. You don’t need to switch between folders, apps, or spreadsheets. You get structure that supports your rhythm and leaves more space for what really matters: your children.

Teaching Tool Box
Inside Little Lab, you’ll find the Teaching Tool Box, a digital shelf of classroom materials and project-based curriculum plans you can actually use.

It includes customized lesson plans, easy-to-implement activities, and flexible tools for every age group. Whether you're prepping a theme for toddlers or extending a learning moment with your K2 group, the Tool Box helps you move quickly without sacrificing depth.

Teacher Training Academy
You deserve growth opportunities that are practical and relevant. The Teacher Training Academy inside Little Lab gives you access to dynamic teacher training that fits your schedule.

With both online and live sessions, you can build your confidence in early childhood teaching using research-backed methods. It’s based on the Trehaus Method and made to support real classrooms like yours.

Little Evaluator
Instead of relying on formal tests or rushed notes, you can use the Little Evaluator, which is a set of play-based evaluation tools built right into the platform.

It helps you track where each child is in their development by watching how they engage in everyday activities. Whether it’s language, social behavior, or motor skills, you get real data that helps you teach with intention.

A Curriculum That Builds Real Skills for Life
The Trehaus Method inside Little Lab is more than a checklist of topics. It helps your children grow in ways that matter, from how they think to how they express emotions and relate to others.

The project-based curriculum is designed for ages 18 months to 7 years. It includes 10 comprehensive modules with more than 100 curated lesson plans and projects tailored to each stage of development.

Some of the featured project-based modules include:
Little Entrepreneur
Children explore creativity and innovation by solving real problems and thinking about how to create and market ideas.

Little CEO
Focuses on leadership, decision-making, and communication. Children practise how to guide a team and present ideas clearly.

Little Chef
Blends nutrition, culinary arts, and hospitality. Children learn independence, care for others, and develop fine motor skills through hands-on food prep.

These are more than activities. They connect classroom learning to skills that will stick with your children.

The curriculum supports development in three main areas:

  • Character and personal growth: confidence, empathy, perseverance, integrity, creativity, self-regulation
  • Cognitive and academic development: executive function, STEAM, literacy in English and Mandarin, numeracy, gross and fine motor skills
  • Social awareness and global mindset: gratitude, environmental responsibility, public speaking, interdependence, and life skills

And every lesson plan is mapped to clear outcomes, so you know what you’re working toward at every step.

Communication That Parents Appreciate
Parents want to know what’s happening in your classroom. But long reports and rushed conversations aren’t sustainable.

Little Lab gives you parent communication tools that make it easy to send quick updates, photos, or milestones. It takes the pressure off reporting while still giving families meaningful insight into their child’s day.

Designed by Educators, for Educators
Little Lab was created by the educators behind Trehaus School, teachers who know what your day looks like. That’s why everything in the platform is built to help, not overwhelm.

You get dynamic teacher training, a project-based curriculum, play-based evaluation tools, and comprehensive scheduling and planning support. All in one place.

A Smart Step Forward for Schools That Want to Grow
Preschools are evolving. Families are asking better questions. You need more support and schools want to improve quality without overwhelming their teams.

Little Lab helps make that happen.

It gives your school the foundation to deliver child-centered learning, clear progress tracking, and better relationships with families, all through one platform.
