What We're About

At Little Tykes University, we go beyond traditional childcare. We are a Christian Learning Center with a comprehensive approach, ensuring that we address not only your child's developmental and academic needs but also their spiritual well-being. We believe every child is a unique creation, and our mission is to nurture their minds, hearts, and souls.

Faith

Spiritual Development

As a Christian Learning Center, we place a strong emphasis on the spiritual development of each child. Our values are rooted in Christian principles, and we incorporate teachings that instill a sense of morality, kindness, and compassion. We believe that fostering spiritual growth is integral to preparing children for a purposeful and fulfilling life.

Family

Connecting Families and Caregivers

We understand that a child's family is their first and most influential teacher. Little Tykes University is dedicated to bridging the gap between home and our learning center. We strive to create an environment where family and caregivers work together as partners in a child's educational journey. By connecting the dots between family and caregivers, we aim to provide a seamless and supportive experience for your child's growth.

Fun

The Power of Play

We recognize that play is a powerful tool for learning. Both directed and un-directed play are integral components of our curriculum. Play is not just fun; it's a natural and effective way for children to learn new concepts and develop problem-solving skills. Through play, we create an environment where children can explore, experiment, and discover in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
