We believe that each child is a unique individual. We are sensitive to children's cognitive, social, emotional and physical capacities develop quickly when they can use materials and their imaginations freely in an environment that promotes investigation, decision-making, cooperation, persistence and problem-solving.  We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning and help children enjoy successful experiences.

We believe in providing a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthy, and oriented to children. Classrooms are arranged to offer challenging play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Activity areas allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience, and, most importantly, to succeed.

We believe that the strength of our program is in the dedication of our teaching staff. We support our teachers with training, resources, and freedom to create a unique learning experience for children. We provide many opportunities for teachers to observe and interact with children at their level to discover how each child thinks and reasons. Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere and foster each child's creativity and positive self-image.

We believe in positive methods of discipline. We establish consistent, age-appropriate limits to help children function in their world. Our programs are designed to develop in children a sense of independence and responsibility. We desire to strengthen each child's own cultural identity, while instilling a respect for others who might be different.

We believe parents are the most significant adults in a child's life. We strive to create mutual respect between parents and teachers: a partnership for the benefit of the child. We encourage daily communication between parents and center staff. Our doors are open to parents at all times. Little Village Day Care and Learning Center is an organization that values people: the children in our care, their parents, and our employees. We continually work to earn the trust placed in us. We strive each day to be the best provider of early childhood educational services in every community we serve.
