Our Story
​
Little Kids Village Learning Center was established in the fall of 2002 on Chicago's southwest side. With two locations, our goal for each student is to prepare them for advancement to the next level of education. We believe that children begin learning from the moment they are introduced into the world, which means an educational environment is important to their development. We hire only qualified staff members who have a genuine love and passion for educating young minds.
​We offer a wide variety of activities that will enhance children's development. Small and large
group interactions will assist with helping children develop respect, fairness and cultural competence.
​Recreational outings will be implemented to help children learn about cultural diversity and also enhance their interaction skills. Our focus is to meet and develop the needs of each individual child. We challenge and motivate each child’s educational, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social needs. Little Kids Village is committed to providing a safe, nurturing and healthy environment for children.
​
Staff members are highly trained and will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
"Engaging staff, [they] foster an environment that stimulates growth. My little baby is learning each and every day".

Mission
Statement
Our philosophy is to help children learn through play, to offer them activities that will help develop and enhance their learning skills. Our program is flexible and motivated to assist children in developing better social and emotional interaction with other children.
We encourage children to decide things for themselves. We support children in making choices in problem solving and understanding the consequences of their actions. We want children to learn to be decision-makers and encourage all children to develop leadership abilities. We support children in doing chores, setting the table and cleaning up by putting toys and materials away. We offer care for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age and also participate in community and group outings. Our focus is to provide a stimulating early childhood experience that will promote each child's growth.
