Infant Care
Ages 6 weeks – 12 months
A quiet, responsive environment where infants receive one-on-one attention. Feedings, naps, and tummy time follow each child's natural rhythm, building the security they need in those precious early months.
Downey, California
For years, families in Downey have trusted Little House Daycare to nurture their children in a home-like setting where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
About Us
Little House Daycare was founded on a simple belief: young children thrive best in environments that feel like home. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood on Bellder Drive, our small-group setting allows us to form genuine bonds with every child who walks through our door.
We are not a large facility with rotating staff and impersonal routines. Here, caregivers know your child's temperament, their favorite books, the way they take their snacks, and what makes them laugh. That familiarity is what transforms daycare from a necessary arrangement into a place your child genuinely enjoys being.
Our Services
Every program at Little House is thoughtfully structured to support developmental milestones while keeping learning joyful and age-appropriate.
Ages 6 weeks – 12 months
A quiet, responsive environment where infants receive one-on-one attention. Feedings, naps, and tummy time follow each child's natural rhythm, building the security they need in those precious early months.
Ages 1 – 3 years
Toddlers explore, question, and discover at a rapid pace. Our program supports their growing independence through guided play, language enrichment, and gentle routines that help them feel confident and capable.
Ages 3 – 5 years
Building the skills that matter most before kindergarten: social confidence, early literacy, creative expression, and curiosity. Children learn through structured play, storytelling, and hands-on projects that make education feel like adventure.
School-age children
A safe, supervised space for school-age children after the bell rings. Homework help, creative activities, and outdoor time — all in a relaxed setting where kids can unwind and still stay engaged.
Our Environment
Every corner of Little House is designed with your child's wellbeing in mind. From low shelves stocked with developmentally appropriate materials to soft reading nooks and a secure outdoor area, our space invites discovery while maintaining the warmth of a real home.
Distinct zones for creative arts, dramatic play, blocks, and quiet reading — each curated to encourage focused exploration.
A fenced yard with age-appropriate play equipment, garden beds for growing, and shaded areas for outdoor learning.
Fresh, balanced meals and snacks prepared on-site, accommodating dietary needs with care and attention.
Our Philosophy
At Little House, we follow a play-based, child-centered approach. We understand that young children learn most deeply when they are engaged, curious, and emotionally secure. Our caregivers are trained to observe, support, and gently guide — never to pressure or rush.
We partner closely with families because we know that consistency between home and daycare is essential. Daily communication, open doors, and genuine relationships with parents are not extras at Little House — they are the foundation of everything we do.
Every interaction begins with warmth and respect. Children learn best when they feel seen and valued.
Play is the work of childhood. We create rich opportunities for discovery, creativity, and problem-solving.
Parents are the experts on their children. We listen, communicate openly, and work together.
Consistency, predictability, and a calm environment give children the security they need to thrive.
