Meet Our Home 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, contact information or full names on our website. Please use this form to inquire about potential child care spaces.
