I'm using Rosetta Stone....and after several units of seeing "El niño está corriendo" (for example), now I've seen "Al niño está corriendo", or instead of "La niña no le gusta...etc.", I'm seeing "A la niña no le gusta...etc." What is the difference between just having "el" or "la", and "al" or "a la"?

"Al niño está corriendo." sounds weird to me, it translates as "To the child he-she-it is running.", but I don't think people around here would say that in a normal conversation.

La niña no le gusta: He (she) does not like the girl.

A la niña no le gusta: The girl does not like it.
