Philosophy: At Little Lambs We,
- Set the highest expectations for each individual child. By doing so we offer each child the potential to be the best they can be without limitations.
- Foster inclusion within and outside our programs. Every child deserves to be a fully participating member of our programs, their families and their communities regardless of ability/skill.
- Promote the importance of community and to respect our environment through sustainable practice. Little Lambs is committed to supporting locally owned businesses. Through our actions we educate children about the importance of sustainability and conservation.

Kristina SchwartzOwner/DirectorKristina established Little Lambs Home Daycare in 2012 as a small home daycare. Word travels quick in small towns and in no time she had built a strong reputation. It was Kristina's commitment to developing the best home child care program that earned her success. Now Little Lambs Home Daycare has grown into an agency overseeing other home daycares. Owning and operating as an agency will allow Kristina to guide other providers and have a bigger impact on the desperate need for accountable child care.

How does learning happen? Ontario's pedagogy for the early years. 2016
Children are competent, capable of complex thinking, curious, and rich in potential. They grow up in families with diverse social, cultural and linguistic perspectives. Every child should feel that he or she belongs, is a valuable contributor to his or her surroundings, and deserves the opportunity to succeed. When we recognize children as capable and curious, we are more likely to deliver programs and services that value and build on their strengths and abilities.
