Our Philosophy of Little Flowers Early Childhood Center is to provide a safe, family-like environment.
We recognize that each child is a unique individual with a personality and talents distinct from others, and that basic needs to establish trust, satisfy curiosity and maintain good health are shared by all.
We believe in educating the whole child, intellectually, emotionally, physically and artistically.
We believe in the importance of learning basic skills of math, reading, and spelling through a myriad of teaching techniques and mediums.
