Little blessings, big impact
GOOD HOPE, Ala. — When you become a parent, countless decisions fall onto your plate. Which car
seat should you pick? Breastfeed or formula feed? Cloth diapers or disposables? As the adage says,
"You can do everything 'right' and they'll still eat the french fry off the minivan floor." Some choices
are fleeting, soon forgotten. Others, however, are momentous and merit thorough consideration.
Childcare stands out as a paramount decision. Who will watch your child while you work? Can they
offer the same tender care and affection you provide? For those fortunate to have Ashlee Wright and
Little Blessings Preschool as an option, the answer is a resounding "yes."
Founded in 2014, Little Blessings Preschool emerged from a mother's concerns. Wright said she sought
more than the status quo for her son's preschool experience. She envisioned an environment in which
her child wasn't just a statistic but could learn at his unique pace, free from the confines of
standardized education. Not finding a suitable establishment in her vicinity, Wright embarked on her
own journey, transforming her maternal aspirations into a thriving preschool.
Little Blessings, she explained, champions the Montessori philosophy, catering to infants and children
from 6 weeks to kindergarten. Wright and her team incorporate a Montessori-inspired curriculum,
emphasizing individual-paced learning.
"I don’t believe in standardized testing. I believe education should be fun. Education should not be just books and tablets....
