Hello! My name is Harjinder Kaur, I am a professional child care provider with many years of experience. I have a bachelor’s degree and teaching experience. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid and MAT(Medication Administration Training). We are state licensed. My staff and I participate in the Professional Development Early Childhood Care training program every year. Little Cuties meets all local health and safety standards. We love to work with children, being a mom away from home for them. I believe that early childhood education is essential to sow the seeds of a bright future. Little Cuties prepares kids for academic and social success by promoting sharing, manners, socializing, team building, happiness, and fun! We encourage learning through fun and structured activities based on emotional, cognitive, physical, and fine motor skills development. Our goal at Little Cuties is to provide a nurturing environment for your child that will help them grow into a responsible, respectful, and caring person. At Little Cuties, kids love to learn through singing and dancing. I strongly believe engaging through music and dance allows children to grow in their motor skills, communication, expression, creativity, imagination, social and emotional skills, and so much more. We are well experienced with children from the age of newborn and up. Little Cuties provides a neat and comfortable environment for kids to play and enjoy the day. We have a big play room for all ages, where babies can play with mixed age groups in safe environment. We have a separate room for arts & crafts and playing pretend. We have two separate rooms for nap time (a crib room for babies and cot room for toddlers) and a kitchen and a bathroom for the kids. All rooms have large windows to let in sunlight. We love to play outside most of the year, so we have a well maintained outdoor space with a roofed area so we can still go outside on rainy days. The playground area provides a lots of fun activities, and we are always adding and upgrading playground equipment! We provide a home  cooked well balanced meal to the kids that meet children’s nutrition and energy need standards. I can  provide a good amount of 5 star reviews from my old clients, as I just updated my profile and care.com won’t be able to transfer my reviews from my old profile to this one. Therefore, I have added some of my reviews to the photo gallery. All reviews are available upon visit.
