Welcome to the Little Husky Learning Center!

Little Husky Learning Center is a Preschool through Kindergarten center located on the south side of the Oelwein High School, on 8^th Ave SE. The Center also operates as a year-round child care center and offers before or after school child care programs for children, ages 2 weeks through 12 years old. With capacity for 140 children, the learning center maintains small classroom sizes to encourage child learning and participation.

Little Husky Learning Center uses Creative Curriculum where children learn through play and hands-on experiences. Children investigate their surroundings to address the different areas of development such as, social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language. The staff at Little Husky Learning Center offer children a variety of engaging activities to build reading and math potential and continue to do whatever it takes to educate all students.

From the Principal: 

Welcome to Oelwein Elementary!

At both Little Husky Learning Center and Wings Park Elementary, we live out our vision of being Happy, Healthy, and Awesome each day. Our staff is committed to doing Whatever It Takes to educate every child, and we are grateful to partner with you in that important journey.

In Oelwein, we focus on strong core instruction while also nurturing the whole child through play, music, art, and social-emotional learning. Our goal is to prepare students at every level for success both inside and outside of the classroom.

As I begin my first year as principal at the Little Husky Learning Center, I am excited to build relationships, support our dedicated staff, and celebrate the many great things happening in our schools. Together, we will continue to make Oelwein Elementary a place where students thrive.

With Husky Pride,
Haley Frese
