Little Tykes on the Prairie Childcare

Little Tykes on the Prairie Childcare is a family home daycare open from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, closed on statutory and civic holidays. They accept 2 infants, 2 preschoolers, and 3 school-aged children. The program focuses on play-based learning in a comfortable home environment, offering indoor and outdoor exploration opportunities. They emphasize independence and self-esteem, with a strong focus on nature. The main provider is supported occasionally by her husband. The family has a dog and two cats, who are present during childcare hours and their inclusion depends on the comfort of the children and caregiver. The pets are vaccinated and receive regular veterinary care. A niece (born May 24, 2022) is also cared for as part of the daycare. Lunches and snacks are provided by parents; the home is nut-free (allergy notifications are given to parents).
