Whether it’s on the playground or at the bus stop, a common topic of conversation among parents is how challenging it has become to raise young girls. If it seems that your daughter is dealing with social and emotional issues at a much earlier age than you did, or that there are five-year-old “mean girls“ in kindergarten, it’s not just your imagination!

about the program
The Little Arrows Program we offer is unique in that we recruit girls from all over the metropolitan area of Chicago to ensure diversity. We have two groups: Little Arrows I-ages 4-6 and Little Arrows II-ages 7-8. Our curriculum is focused on Smart, Strong, Safe girls. We accomplish this via classes and experiences that allow her to become aware of who she is and how she has control over her behavior. We use a ROAR curriculum to teach her body safety and how to eliminate the possibility of sexual abuse.

Little Arrows II
Ages 6-7 (First graders)
Little Arrows II is the next step in the journey of recognizing that You are Smart, You are Strong, and You deserve to always be Safe. You also need to understand the value of a diverse community. Understanding that you can learn from someone who does not look like you or even comes from your neighborhood.
In Little Arrows II we continue to emphasize the Smart, Strong, and Safe messages. We will introduce the growth mindset since the girls are now in first grade and the exponential growth they will experience including reading, mathematics, social studies, and science. And, although we know they will thrive in school academically, we want to serve as a reinforcement of her emotional intelligence skills. We know that in this world in which social media can be devastating harmful to such young minds, it is critical that our girls at this very young age know who they are. It is also critical that we continue to teach our young girls how to operate so that they can always be safe.
