Age Groups and Classes at LDLA We have six age groups at LDLA and 7 classes, as follows: Embers 1-3 years old These are our precious, littlest lights. We nurture their hearts by helping them feel God’s love for them, and by extension they will feel loved and safe in our co-op. Through play and repetition, we introduce the children to uplifting music, poetry, stories, and art so that they are familiar with them by the end of the year. Tinders 4-5 years old Our purpose is to protect and nurture the tender hearts of these little ones by filling their days with beautiful poetry, art, music, and a variety of stories including fairytales, fables and scripture stories.
