Child care
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. As a mother of three grown children, it has become my nature to nurture the children under my care as my own. It is my priority to reassure that your kids are growing with all the love and care that they need! Here at Little Ones we love to explore, learn, and have fun!
