Description:
We are a fully licensed, STAR 4, childcare center located in New Oxford, Pennsylvania. Our qualified staff cares for children ages 12 months through school age. Our center offers childcare, preschool and free PreK Counts (to those families who qualify), and before and after school care for Conewago Valley and Bermudian Springs school districts.

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.

My son LOVES his preschool class at little life. All the teachers and staff are so welcoming. During this pandemic they have gone over and beyond to make sure the environment was safe yet still enjoyable for the kids.
