Mission

Little Beginnings provides pre kindergarten and day care to children under 6 years of age. We believe that learning and playing are synonymous for the preschool age child. Young children learn best when they have an opportunity to practice their intellectual, physical and social skills every day through activities of their own choosing in an environment carefully structured by trained staff.
