Our school offers an engaging, nurturing environment for every child, during the most critical early years, starting in infancy. By adhering to high standards, we help mold inquisitive, confident kids, who are socially, physically, and academically prepared for school.

Hello my name is Lilia! Here at Little Ones Daycare we offer childcare for infants as young as three months old, and for toddlers until they are ready for pre-school. I have worked with kids for the past 15 years, and have 10 years of daycare experience alone. I worked as an assistant at a daycare facility for many years before opening Little Ones Daycare.

Kids Castle

Kids Castle is a licensed family home daycare for children, aged 6 weeks old and up. Our school combines academic learning with structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. It has been an absolute joy to have been working in this field for more than 20 years. In my years working as a preschool teacher at a well established center, I focused on getting to know each child individually in order to meet their needs best. I believe that it is in these tender years where children develop vital personal and social skills which they cultivate as they age. Giving them the time, care and attention they need and deserve is of utmost importance in helping them grow. As the kids progress, we will engage in creative arts and crafts. In addition, I will be teaching them the alphabet and numbers. I also believe that teaching children etiquette is key in shaping their future, as well as it will help them learn how to play and socialize with other kids in a positive manner so they can best enjoy the bliss of childhood.
