About Us

Little Lights exists to Glorify God by caring for and educating children in a holistic Christ centered fashion, preparing them for a life of meaning.

We care for families by creating an environment where children know they’re loved, where each child can thrive in their own unique way, and where learning is fun.

Parent involvement is an important aspect of a child’s education, which is why we encourage open communication and collaboration between parents and staff. Our experienced teachers are passionate about helping children reach their full potential, working closely with parents to ensure that each child’s individual needs are met.

Qualified and Caring Staff

The brightest lights at Little Lights are our teachers and staff, and we’re committed to learning opportunities and development for them as well for your child. That commitment means our teachers can work with each individual child to recognize their unique needs and interests and to spark a lifelong love for learning.

Our team is committed to creating a loving and nurturing environment and maintaining clear, consistent communication with families.

Each of our LLCC staff are screened to ensure that your child will be around trained, caring, loving, and responsible individuals. All teachers and substitutes undergo fingerprinting and criminal background checks through both the State Police and Social Services.

Staff members receive CPR First Aid training and certification and are required to attend various workshops and training every year for personal and professional enrichment.

Lead preschool teachers have or are currently pursuing one of the following:

• An endorsement or bachelor’s degree in a child-related field from a college or university
• Either a one year early childhood certificate or a child development credential

Other staff must have between 12-24 hours of course training, depending on their position.
