Little Trotters
Overview
Little Trotters Farm & Nursery is the Cayman Islands’ premier nature-based early childhood center, where young children thrive through play, exploration, and a strong connection to the land and animals. Situated in a peaceful, tropical setting, our working farm and nursery provide a warm, enriching environment where children can develop the foundations for lifelong learning, health, and happiness.
Our Philosophy
At Little Trotters, we believe in the power of learning through nature. Surrounded by the beauty of the Cayman Islands, our program blends early childhood education with real-world experiences on the farm. We value curiosity, kindness, and hands-on discovery, allowing children to learn in a way that is active, joyful, and deeply rooted in the rhythms of island life.
We are guided by the principles of:
-
Nature-led and play-based learning
-
Sustainable living and environmental care
-
Cultural appreciation and community connection
-
Respect for self, others, and the environment
Programs Offered
-
Nursery & Preschool (18 months to 5 years): Our core programs encourage growth in literacy, numeracy, motor skills, and emotional intelligence through immersive experiences on the farm and in our thoughtfully designed classrooms.
-
Farm Activities: Daily interaction with animals such as goats, ponies, chickens, and rabbits, as well as planting and harvesting in the garden, help build empathy and responsibility.
-
Outdoor Discovery: Children learn outside every day—exploring nature trails, collecting coconuts, observing butterflies, or splashing in puddles after island rain.
-
Cultural Learning: Caymanian heritage is celebrated through music, storytelling, local foods, and seasonal traditions.
Our Location
