About

Welcome to the Little Tykes Learning Center family! Our goal is to be a "home away from home" for your child. We help children to grow physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Our structured, faith based, creative program teaches children how tointeract with other children, develop cognitive and language skills, acquire knowledge of science, sign language, music, literary skills, math building skills, Christian values/biblical stories, and much more. Our talented and experienced staff is what sets us apart! We have a combined experience of over 100 years!! We have a core staff that has been at Little Tykes for 10-15-20+ YEARS and we are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care for your child. Our age-appropriate program and our curriculum, The Creative Curriculum, enhances learning opportunities for the children in our care. Our preschool and Pre-K program is set up to prepare children for kindergarten and offers both teacher-initiated and child-initiated activities. We hold many activities throughout the year to help establish bonds between our teachers and our families here at Little Tykes. This includes our yearly barbecue/preschool graduation party, our Fall festival/Halloween party, our Thanksgiving feast, our annual Christmas party, Parent’s Night Out, Muffins with Mom, Donuts with Dad, and much more! We hope you will reach out to set up a tour! We are now enrolling for fall 2025-26 and have openings for children ages 2 1/2 years to 4 years of age. Read more
