Description: We at Little People’s Day Care appreciate the opportunity and the privilege of serving you and your child during their stay at our center. It is our goal to maintain a wholesome atmosphere while they are here. We will strive to have a safe, playful, learning environment with age appropriate material and supplies to meet the needs of after-school children. We will strive at our facility, to have a home-like atmosphere where consideration and love are shown to each individual child. Your child’s health, safety, and well-being are placed at the highest standards of importance. Children are cared for through love, and caring situations at all times as individuals and group settings.
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. We offer an open door policy for all parents and guardians so that you can experience the learning environment, health and safety of your child and other children at the facility.
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.
