Family Testimonials:
"LLLC is truly the best program around. I feel very well communicated with, I know in my heart that every teacher in that building loves and cares for my child, and I am overwhelming thrilled that we are a part of this organization."
"We love LLLC. There was no doubt that our second child would attend LLLC for his early childhood years. Our oldest is thriving in kindergarten because of all she learned at LLLC and we know our son will be the same (when that time comes). We love all the teachers at LLLC."
"We have been thrilled with our experience at LLLC! We are so thankful for the staff that cares for our child."
"We transitioned our kids over to LLLC after 3+ years at another local daycare center. We didn't have many issues with the other place but we really didn't know what we were missing. LLLC has been great for us and we wish we would have enrolled sooner. Being able to have the consistency with who their teacher will be every day is key to the relationships and we have been very pleased. They do a great job of utilizing the app and sharing pictures and updates throughout the day."
"The communication between the directors and the teachers is so amazing. When your a parent you need that communication and LLLC staff do an amazing job communicating through the app and with weekly and daily emails. We absolutely love Little Lights."
"Both of our children went to LLLC and had wonderful experiences with fantastic teachers. The Director provided clear communication, leadership and sincere caring for our family. We are moving and sad to leave such a wholesome and loving environment that we trust. Everyone deserves a raise!"

Curriculum
Each classroom develops and posts weekly lesson plans based on ages and developmental levels of their students. Our teachers use the Read It Once Again curriculum and Early Learning Standards to drive instruction in all developmental areas. We believe it's also important to provide different types of sensory exposure, outdoor exploration, and STEAM exercises for our children. Our teachers complete the CDC Developmental Milestones in the fall and spring to provide documentation on important milestones reached throughout the school year.
LLLC sends home monthly Scholastic Book Orders. When ordering, use our CLASS CODE: T6DG3.
