Here at the Little University, LLC your child will receive the best quality childcare and learning opportunities that we can offer. We provide childcare for children of ages 6 weeks to 11 years old. It is our vision to provide children with nurturing, loving care and the foundations to be lifelong learners, in a safe, clean environment. Through play and hands on experiments the students will learn problem solving and creative thinking to spark the excitement of learning. Our hope is to be an extension to their home life. We will reinforce good manners and kindhearted acts towards each other. By praying before our meals, we are further reinforcing the activities they are learning at home. We believe in the old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child”, we at Little University are part of that village.

History Of Little University Campus

The building served as a school until the 1920s and was host to a variety of businesses over the years from a library to a motor shop, even a discount store. In 1992, the tornado that swept through the village did extensive damage to the west side of the building.
