Welcome to Little Lights Academy!

As a ministry of Ridgeland Church, we believe children are a special gift from God. It is our goal to provide a safe and nurturing environment where your child will know that God and their caregivers love them. We are big enough to have quality programs, yet small enough that you and your child will feel like family.
