The Ideal Place For Your Children
Strong Communication
with Families
We know that trusting someone with your child is a big step. That’s why we prioritize transparent, open communication with parents and caregivers.
Early Learning Through Play
At Little Friends Home Daycare, we use a play-based learning approach rooted in early childhood development principles. We believe that children learn best when they’re engaged, curious, and having fun.
Safe Outdoor Play
Our daycare includes secure outdoor space where children can run, jump, climb, and explore in a safe and supervised environment. From water play in the summer to leaf collecting in the fall, we make the most of every season!
A Place Where
Every Child Belongs
Inclusion is at the heart of our philosophy. We welcome children of all backgrounds, abilities, and family structures. Our goal is to create a culturally responsive, kind, and respectful community, where every child feels seen, valued, and loved.
