Description: Little Lambs is the only State Licensed Community Daycare and Preschool Center in Steuben County. Our caring, safe, and fun environment helps all of our children develop socially, emotionally, and academically for success in the world. Our curriculum is based on the Indiana Academic Standards in order to support Kindergarten Readiness for each child. ABCs, reading time, field trips, walks, creative play, home cooked meals, singing and dancing, playground time in our fenced-in child-friendly play area, library time, arts and crafts, and lots of laughs are all a part of our day!
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
