Care That Supports Every Milestone, From Day One for Ages 6 Weeks to 15 Months

At Little Tykes, we know that the earliest months of life are full of rapid growth, new discoveries, and emotional connection. Our Infant Program gives working families peace of mind by offering a full-day schedule in a nurturing, responsive setting where every baby is seen, soothed, and supported. With consistent caregivers and low ratios, your child is paired with a primary teacher who gets to know their needs, cues, and developmental rhythm. 

Not Just Daycare — A Thoughtful Start for Baby’s Growth

First Year Foundations

In our Infant Program, every moment is an opportunity for connection, exploration, and growth. Our teachers use nurturing routines and responsive care to create a secure, language-rich environment that helps babies build trust, regulate emotions, and engage with the world around them. Through songs, stories, sensory play, and face-to-face interaction, we lay the earliest foundation for learning — all while celebrating each milestone along the way.

I can’t say enough good things about Little Tykes Preschool and Daycare Center. From day one, the entire team has been warm, supportive, and incredibly professional. Ms. Megan made the transition from being home with my child to starting daycare such a smooth and comforting experience. Her kindness, patience, and constant communication truly eased our minds as parents. Now that my child is in the toddler classroom, Ms. Ally has continued that same level of excellence. It’s clear that the staff at Little Tykes genuinely care about the children and their development. Every day when I pick up my child, she’s smiling and happy. The amount of activities they do throughout the day is incredible. From creative play to educational learning, it’s easy to see that the kids are not only busy but actively learning and growing. The communication from the center has always been great, and I always feel in the loop about my child’s day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Little Tykes to anyone and everyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. We’re so grateful to have found them!

Little Tykes is an intimate childcare center, who I trust with my kids. Teachers in all classes pay very close attention to each child. Both of my kids, one in the preschool and one, who was in the infant and recently now in the toddler room, have learned so much! They spend time at the end of the day letting you know how the day was. Pictures are posted to see what is going on during the day! I love that I can message my kids’ teachers with any questions through the app. The crafts that come home with my like are adorable.

Our son started attending Little Tykes when he was a year and a half and recently he graduated PreK-4 program. We couldn't be any happier with the school. The teachers are excellent and the school has a lot of different activities for early learning. We loved the projects our son brought daily and that we could read his weekly program to discuss his school work. We love how the areas and the program are organized and appreciate our son's progress over the years at Little Tykes. Many thanks to Lyttle Tykes' teachers and staff!

This was my first time enrolling my 1 year old daughter into a day care program and honestly it has been a great experience so far. My daughter was not repeating any words prior to starting and in just 2 months she was already starting to talk. The teachers have a very good communication with parents and are on top in keeping you informed and are always doing fun activities with the kids. My daughter sometimes does not want to leave and that says alot! We love it!

My daughters have been attending Little Tykes since my 5 year old was 3 months old! I have always felt so secure that they are in safe, loving hands. The activities and learning opportunities they provide made my older daughter Kindergarten ready and she has excelled academically! I attribute much of that to her Little Tykes experience. My 2 year old's vocabulary and counting skills surpass many of her peers in our circle of friends. I love that there are so many opportunities during the day to learn, but also to PLAY and practice their social skills. I would highly recommend Little Tykes to any parent looking for a safe, loving, happy environment for their child.
