About the Provider

Description:

     Little Crickets All Day School of Play is a wholesome year round child care program with a focus on the developmental needs of the busy preschooler.  We are professional experienced parents and educators who have pulled from years of early child development teaching ideas and strategies to create something very special for our kids. While you work to care for your family, you will feel confident that your child is safe and that all of their health, nutritional, social, and academic needs are being met.                                                           

         We are a licensed child care and private preschool with small ratios, convenient location and whimsical indoor and outdoor play spaces. Our professional center style operations allow us to provide high quality care within a dedicated homey space while maintaining high standards as well as reasonable tuitions.  We put deep intention on our play space, it is clean, inviting, and provides a variety of opportunities to meet the interest and developmental needs of all our children. We engage in open ended play as well as guided activities daily, with many opportunities to practice a wide range of physical and cognitive skills that will help foster peer relationships and make for an easy transition to school.               

       We recognize that supporting parents in the pursuit of their own interests, career, and family goals is also an important part of strengthening our children's lives.  At LC we look at our relationship with parents as a team effort with the mutual goal to create healthy early experiences for our children and a sense of community. 

      Some of the conveniences you will enjoy as a Cricket family are; nutritious meals and snacks provided, reliable quality care with limited closed days, opportunities to socialize as a family, and the joy of witnessing your child’s day through ongoing updates and monthly photos of your children hard at work and play. 

    Little Crickets is a place where our children get to be happy little humans, where they get to participate in all that joyful play which builds a positive foundation of self and prepares them for a successful transition to kindergarten and beyond!.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I worked with Christa (Owner) for over 6 years with Head Start as her supervisor and became friends and colleges while working together at the NLFD Elementary School. Her friendly caring nature makes families and children comfortable with her. She brings vast knowledge and experience in caring and teaching children. I have seen her creative abilities, professionalism, and love for children, intimately for almost a decade and highly recommend her care!
