About LCC

We believe in child- initiated learning, known as the Reggio Emilia method. We create a learning environment by providing the materials for the children to explore and discover without specific instructions for the children. Children are naturally curious and by us providing new materials we are fostering creative minds. The Reggio Emilia method fosters growth in all areas of development. It provides opportunity for the children to learn hands on with their friends in their class.
  • Individual attention in a small-class setting
  • Educational community speakers and school presentations
  • Positive learning environment for your child

Our Activities

Creative activities

We incorporate music and art into every day's lesson plan. Creativity is an important part of learning to express one's self!

Playground & Gross Motor

Movement is a HUGE part of our little one's day, as we all know.

Character & Social Development

Learning to be a kind person and having the skills to interact with friends can be tricky to grasp, but just as important (if not more) than learning the ABCs and 123s!

Awesome Curriculum

We use FunShine and Frog Street curriculums to enhance our little one's learning experience and ensure they are absorbing all the knowledge they need to be successful in the future.

What Parents Say

Home
I absolutely love this daycare. My daughter has been to several in her short 3 years and Little Caterpillar is the best one. The little details Ms. Anna puts into her daycare let’s me know my baby is in good hands. I almost didn’t send her because the cost was a little higher, but worth every penny!! I get picture updates which is awesome too! I like to see what she does so I can talk to her later about it.

Ms. Anna is amazing. When the daycare I had my son at closed I was worried about finding one. My friends daughter goes here and she recommended them to me, so I called and got him enrolled and let me tell you it was the best decision I've made. They care so much about each child and their learning and behaviors. It's such a relief not having to worry about how my son is being treated and cared for. He loves it there and never not wants to go. I highly recommend Little Caterpillar Childcare. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

Little Caterpillar Childcare is a loving and professional place for children to go to learn and interact with other children their age. The staff is amazing and very well trained/certified. The kids come first there. The facility is so safe for children. You will feel at ease knowing your children are in the hands of a Little Caterpillar Childcare teacher.
