About Us
Lil Tykes Childcare is not just another “day care”, it’s a learning center that fulfills the expectations you hold for your child. Our program is structured to meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of your child. We educate and support every stage of development from infancy through 11 years.
Our goals are to be responsive in a nurturing, safe, clean, and supportive environment. Our curriculum and schedules are structured with daily activities that are creative and flexible to meet the developmental levels of each age group.
Teachers & Staff
Our staff is carefully selected not just for their educational credentials, but for their warmth, sensitivity and respect for children. Before they are selected as staff members each applicant is asked what hobbies or interests they can bring to the center and the lead teachers are required to describe an activity from language development to art, illustrating their abilities. We check references and conduct thorough background checks based on state and/or local licensing requirements. This includes fingerprinting and appropriate criminal background checks, as well as verification of educational credentials. In addition, all staff must participate in a three month probationary period in order to closely evaluate their interactivities with children and parents. To insure that excellent care is provided for every child all staff is trained in first aid, CPR, SUIDS, and Head Trauma. Candidates who will transport children undergo a thorough driving history check and annual checks. In addition, all staff members participate in continuous in-service training programs and attend conferences and workshops on child development issues.
Security
Entrance into the center is locked at all times, admittance is gained by entering your personal identification number on the keypad outside the front door. In addition, we have security cameras in each room along with five cameras outside.
