New Day Care Center Now Open Near White Cloud

Little Ones Day Care recently opened a new center in Everett Township near  White Cloud after operating in Fremont the past 3 years The center is housed in the former Christian Builders Mission Church which has been completely renovated.
We caught up with Owner and Director Corissa VanderStelt to pose a few questions.

This is your second venture into the Child Care world with your first center in Fremont. Why the expansion?
 We decided to expand because of the need for childcare in Newaygo County and throughout the state. Newaygo County is considered a desert area for Childcare. If a parent needs care most parents would have to wait up to a year for a spot, especially infants.  Knowing this I felt it would benefit the community to open another location. Opening a Daycare in White Cloud laid very heavy on my heart.
Another reason I wanted to expand is because of my love for children and to make sure children have a safe, loving and high quality center to come to everyday while their parents go to work.

What is your general philosophy on child care?  
Our philosophy/vision for Little Ones is to provide the greatest care for children in our community. Having an outside Christian-based program that helps children develop the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical skills necessary for all aspects of life and growth. We want to have a talented and well-educated staff that can build strong relationships with the children and their families too, for life.

What is the daily schedule or routine? 
Here at Little Ones our Preschoolers Day is filled with activities from music & movement, and free play (hands on learning with a purpose) small group time, exploring our all-natural playground and a lot of love and hugs.  Our sweet little babies and toddlers daily schedule is on demand, but still filled with a lot of fun age-appropriate activities 
 
What are your hours? 
We are open Monday – Friday 6:30-6:00 We are closed for all major holidays.

What are the tuition costs? Is there a sliding scale? Do you accept DHHS?
