At Little People’s Day Care, Inc. we believe children learn through experiences and role modeling by observations and playing out their desires. It is our intentions to instill in each child character, respect, accomplishments, manners, and well being at all times. Parent participation is always encouraged. You can visit, volunteer, or send items for children at our facility as you would like while your child is at the center.
