Child Care Providers

At Little Lambs our goal is to provide caring, respectful and developmentally appropriate early years programming. By consistently learning and growing ourselves we hope to only better our programs. While each program is individually run by one Provider we like to emphasize that we are a team.

For the safety of our child care providers, their families, and the children they care for we do not publically post their addresses or names on our website.

We have many amazing women partnering with our agency. Our current area travels North as far as Madoc and South as far as Carrying Place and the full width (East-West) of the Hastings County border. Little Lambs has built a strong and positive reputation in large part, due to the incredible hard work of our educators.

Our child care providers receive intensive background checks and are supported through ongoing oversight to ensure the child care they provide meets/exceeds expectations. We foster continued professional learning through agency hosted workshops, online resources, and individualized mentoring.

submit up-to-date VSC police checks for themselves and everyone residing at their premises over 18 years old.
