About the Provider
Little V.I.P.’S started with the idea of an “almost like home” feeling 24 years ago. We believe in allowing children to be children as long as possible.
Through the years we have become a part of many families. As part of the team we have seen many children grow into beautiful adults. Many of the children, who are now adults, have returned either as staff members or bring their own children to the school they remember. We are so proud of this and still love what we do.
Our motto has become “Enter as Strangers… Leave as Friends.
