Description: Seeing your child grow and flourish physically, mentally, socially and emotionally gives parents a sense of accomplishment. Yet, providing for our children and family is the reason we work; that is where we can lend you a hand. Parents will be able to focus on their tasks during their busy daily schedule knowing that your child has been provided the best opportunities to learn in a fun, safe, and loving environment.
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.

WONDERFUL PLACE! I have been to the other Child Care Centers in Valparaiso; there is nothing that compares to Little U Academy. Other places claim to be a learning center, but are nothing but a baby-sitting service. Little U has real degreed teachers that teach! They also have a huge gym for the kids when the weather is bad. The facility is clean, and my child loves her teacher. The director is involved in the community, and puts the kids first. My daughter has learned so much at Little U from sign language to speaking in Spanish. I heard around town that this is the place to go in Valparaiso, and I am glad I made the switch. Thank you Little U!
Little U was recommended by another parent. The best recommendation! My child is taught many subjects each day. The staff cares about the children which is important to me. As a parent I am sending this as a recommendation to the parents who truly want a great place to take their child.
I was very happy with LIttle U the first year my child went there. Now they have gone completely downhill. I can't even get my daily report because of the snotty assitants. Really annoyed.
First off, educationally Little U is great, however I can not give more than 2 stars because the communication between the facility and parents is extremely poor. Further more the communication between the front office and the teachers in the back is also very poor. We can give medications and instructions to the front desk worker and the teacher in the morning and discover that our child never got the needed medication, imagine how upset I was when I found out that my child not only did not get the needed medication but the meds got lost...very disapointing
This facility is IT! They have fun with our kids and learn at the same time. Thier teachers are professional and have their degrees. I would recomment this Child Care facility to anyone, I AM SO HAPPY HERE!
