Taŋyáŋ Yahí! Our mission is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children aged 18 months – 5 years old can grow, learn the Lakȟóta language and thrive. We are dedicated to fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning while promoting social, emotional, and physical development. Through individualized care and a diverse range of activities, we support each child’s unique needs and inspire confidence, independence, and lifelong learning. Students play and learn while immersed in Lakȟota language and culture. The active involvement of our Elders provides an enriching and nurturing cultural experience for all.
