Little Learners





Location: Cranston, RI
Typology: Early Learning Center | Renovation
Size: 9,900 sf 

Status: Completed
Client: LISC RI | Little Learners Academy

Arketekcher provided full architectural services for Little Learner’s Academy’s newest center in Cranston, RI, transforming a 15,500 sf former beauty school into a dynamic childcare facility. Significant interventions were required to adapt the split-level building to meet fire code and egress requirements. Solutions included adding five new doors and stairs, along with a 40-foot ramp to ensure seamless access from the upper level to the outdoor play spaces. The final center supports 10 classrooms for 100 children, along with gross motor rooms and professional development space, creating an engaging and functional environment for preschoolers, toddlers and infants as well as staff.

Funded by the Rhode Island Child Care and Early Learning Facilities Fund, the project was a collaboration with LISC RI. Now fully operational, the center has already reached full capacity, underscoring the demand for high-quality early learning spaces in the community.
