More than a daycare

Little Lambs Childcare provides a unique preschool experience for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Our dedicated staff, many with teaching degrees and accreditations, implement an active teaching and learning curriculum. We ensure a safe and clean environment where children are cultivated in knowing their worth as God's children and taught essential manners and morals. We open at 7:00 AM and close at 5:30 PM, offering breakfast, lunch, and snack within our food program. All staff are CPR- & first aid-certified, with some also holding MO-SECA certification and Early Childhood Ed. degrees.

Stay connected & informed

Communication is key to our partnership with families. We use the Brightwheel app for direct communication between parents and teachers, allowing for instant exchange of information and photos throughout the day. You'll always know what your child ate for lunch and how much they enjoyed it. Children also love Chapel on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with Pastor Dan, featuring interactive songs, candle lighting, Chapel Talks, and memory verses. We structure all our daily curriculum to prepare your children for school readiness. We also host an open house in the fall and in-center programs throughout the year. Please call us for rates. DFS payments are accepted, with parents paying the balance where applicable. A 10% late fee will be charged for payment five days past your normal payment schedule. If tuition payments are more than two weeks late, you will be dropped until payment is made.
