Small World Early Learning & Development Centers

Specialties

We offer quality, affordable care for children, ages 6 weeks to kindergarten, in a clean, colorful, and stimulating environment. Our loving, consistent caregivers encourage intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development with a focus on early literacy and math skills at 2 day care locations in the heart of the Cultural District. Children experience the city through field trips to outdoor parks, theaters, and the library. Books, art, music, and games foster creativity and cooperative play skills. Our child care centers provide preschool and Pre-​K Counts programs, and participate in Keystone Stars. To ensure safety, access to both centers is restricted, and state-​of-​the-​art video camera security systems monitor and record all child care areas from open to close.
