Business Owner

Delene Spragge founded Little Tots’ Manor in 1998 after operating two private home daycare facilities since 1991.

«I founded Little Tots’ Manor because I have a love for children and a strong desire to provide a quality childcare program that is an exceptional experience for children, parents, staff members, and the community,» she says. «As a parent of two children, I recognize the importance and benefits of early education and learning through play.»

«My vision at Little Tots’ Manor has always been to provide the highest standard of care while promoting holistic education. The team develops programming and co-​curricular activities based on the premise that each child finds identity, meaning and purpose through connections with others and to the world around them.»

Delene is involved in many charitable organizations, including Muscular Dystrophy Canada, and The Leacock Foundation, which founded the Get Ahead Project (GAP) School in South Africa.
