Year-Round, Quality Child Care for Ages 2 to 6
Big & Little Child Development Center is a state-licensed child development center
for up to 103 children, ages two to six. Our professionally-trained staff provide a
fun, engaging, and educational environment. Our facility features six, kid-friendly
classrooms (16-18 children, based on the overall age of the children enrolled).
Children at Big & Little enjoy the facility’s full-sized gym, Spray Park (a unique
summertime water/play activity area just for younger children), and a private,
fenced playground. Big & Little offers convenient child care from 6:30 am to
6 pm, Monday through Friday, year-round, excluding major holidays. Full and part-
time options as well as a morning preschool help meet the needs of busy parents.
About our Program
At Big & Little, your child is provided with a warm, nurturing, stimulating, and
challenging environment that promotes social, emotional, physical and intellectual
growth. Our goal is to help your child experience the joy of learning, instill a sense of
curiosity, and provide an atmosphere of discovery and exploration.
Big & Little stresses activities that facilitate language development, increase
sensory awareness, and enhance an understanding of the environment.
Independence, self-confidence and positive self-esteem are encouraged.
Curriculum
Our theme-based curriculum provides a wide variety of activities and interest areas.
Cooperative play is encouraged while meeting developmental needs. Our daily
schedule provides ample opportunity for active and quiet play, as well as both fine
and gross motor activities.
