Childhood doesn’t wait

The first five years shape a lifetime

The first five years move quickly, but their impact lasts a lifetime. How can you make the most of this critical window? During this formative window, children build the foundation for learning, confidence, and emotional well-being. That's why finding care that truly honors this critical stage, a place that feels not just safe, but like a nurturing second home, can feel overwhelming. Many parents know the struggle all too well.

Our founder, Tami Zuckerman, experienced it firsthand. As both an educator and a mother searching for the right care for her daughter, Addison, she saw the challenges up close: daycares overwhelmed by burnout and high staff turnover, breaking the bonds children need most. Classrooms where little ones were left crying, unattended, due to chronic understaffing.

Environments that felt cold and chaotic instead of warm, curious, and enriching. And outdoor spaces that were more like parking lots than playgrounds, offering none of the green, open space children need to run, play, and explore freely.

That desire to find a place where your child is truly understood: a warm, loving environment that nurtures their growth, encourages their curiosity, and challenges them to thrive? Tami knew it all too well.

The calm, nurturing space she imagined, one that embraced the whole child, simply didn’t exist. So, fueled by a mother’s love and a desire to create something different for her daughter and the community, she built it.

That’s the heart of The Little Campus.

When I searched for a place that truly honored my child’s potential, I couldn’t find it — so I built it.
At The Little Campus, care isn’t one-size-fits-all.
We create a second home where every child is seen, heard, and encouraged to grow, explore, and thrive in their own unique way

Holistic approach

Nurturing the whole child: a foundation for lifelong growth

Children don’t learn in silos. Their emotions, relationships, bodies, and imaginations are all deeply connected to how they grow, explore, and understand the world. The Whole Child Approach recognizes this simple truth and puts it at the center of everything we do. By honoring the whole child, we help them build not just knowledge, but confidence, curiosity, resilience, and joy; the true foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

At The Little Campus, we take a personalized, nurturing approach that supports each child across five essential pillars of development

Beyond the curriculum

A place they love

It’s our core promise. Young children need comfort, attention, and consistent care, and we provide it. No child is ever left to “cry it out.” Our responsive approach builds trust and emotional security.

Tender loving care

Less like a facility, more like a second home. Bright, calm classrooms and expansive green spaces invite exploration and joy. Never overstimulation.

Respecting their journey

Every child develops at their own pace. Whether it’s walking, toilet independence, reading, or writing, we support natural milestones with patience, not pressure.

Experienced, loving educators

We invest in our team: qualified, caring educators whose strong bonds with children provide the stability and connection young learners need to thrive

What our families say

Catherine Pan

TLC is the best decision we have ever made for our child. My child was in the care of The Little Campus for 3 years, and these were the greatest days of his life. All of the caregivers went above and beyond each day to give him the warmest and most enriching experience. I felt confident dropping him off each morning, knowing he was in good hands. The curriculum at TLC is unmatched - at the end of his time at TLC, he could explain the solar eclipses to me (thanks Ms Julie!), he could sing Beatles and Ramones songs (thanks Mr. Ed!), and he could do summersaults (thanks Ms Grace!). The owner is a former teacher herself, and is genuinely interested in creating a high quality learning environment. From the first-rate facilities, to the professional administration, to the quality programming, TLC is truly a special place.

If you're looking for a daycare that treats your child as their own, TLC is the place for you. As a first time parent, it was extremely comforting to see the amount of love, attention and patience they have for kids - no matter the age. I know my child is in an environment where she will thrive and simultaneously get the education she needs for healthy development. Cleanliness, environment friendly toys, creative play, all rounded meals and more! I consider myself lucky to have gotten a spot for my daughter at TLC!

Our son was in the preschool room for a year and a half before heading off to junior kindergarten this past September. I can't say enough good things about TLC! It's not your typical daycare, there is a full-on curriculum with programming for literacy, numeracy, music, movement, social-emotional skill-building, yoga, art, all grounded in play and fun. The facilities are beautiful inside and out, the outdoor space is unmatched and they work it into the curriculum in clever ways. As parents, we appreciated the regular communication and updates, we felt very connected with everything going on and it felt very safe, secure, and clean. And the very best part is the staff - an incredibly kind and compassionate group, who clearly love children and make it a magical experience for the little ones. Our little guy loved all the staff members, they got to know him as an individual and would bring out the best in him with experiences and activities that met him where he was. It's not the cheapest daycare option, but watching our little guy thrive definitely made it worth it - he still asks when he can go back to visit, and we continue to get together with friends from his TLC class because the kids formed such great bonds! If you're at all considering TLC, I highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

TLC is amazing! Engaging curriculum, beautiful facilities, and caring staff helped our son thrive. Safe, fun, and nurturing—he loved every moment and built lasting friendships.

We have had a wonderful experience with The Little Campus Daycare, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for their child. The staff at The Little Campus are incredibly friendly and attentive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine interest in our child's well-being. I especially has a good experience dealing with Rebecca, Director of Operation, who answered all my questionss. One of the standout features of The Little Campus is its pristine condition. The facility is new and impeccably clean, which immediately put our minds at ease. The environment is not only hygienic but also very inviting, with bright, airy spaces that make it a pleasant place for children to spend their days. The daycare offers a fantastic array of programs designed to foster learning and development. Their curriculum is well thought out, providing a balanced mix of educational and recreational activities. Whether it's structured learning time, creative arts, or physical play, there is always something engaging for the children to do. The large facility accommodates various activities, ensuring that kids have plenty of space to explore and play.

TLC is a safe, clean, and nurturing daycare. Friendly, attentive staff and engaging programs help children learn, play, and thrive in a bright, welcoming environment.

If you are thinking of sending your little one to TLC don’t think twice! We were fortunate enough to send our two youngest children to The Little Campus and can without a doubt say it was the best decision we could have made for their care. The facilities are stunning, they are constantly keeping them up and making improvements to allow for the best experience for your child. The programming, toys and activities are always well thought through and in excellent condition. They have the best theme weeks throughout the year and everyone gets into it. There are no words to express how AMAZING their staff are! In all our time at TLC I have never met an unhappy staff member, or a staff member who raised their voice. Everyone always greets you with a smile and they take the time to not only get to know your child but also you as a caregiver. A little bit about our situation. When we moved to TLC, our son was in a bad spot coming from his previous daycare (extremely anxious, stressed, and unsupported). To say it was heartbreaking as a parent would be an understatement. We noticed once we joined TLC how settled he became and he was able to truly shine. Every staff member took the time to get to know him and went out of their way to make him feel special. From answering his many many questions to including him in what they were doing…in his world he felt like one of the TLC staff. We are forever grateful to his teachers and all the TLC specialists, it’s very hard to put into words their immense impact. We can honestly say that they helped change his course, brought out his confidence, appreciated his sense of humour and wonder. Our youngest has started her journey at TLC and we couldn’t be more thrilled for what lies ahead for her, we know she is in the best hands possible and will have the most amazing time. This very long note is to simply say TLC is such a special place with the best staff (not just the teachers…every single one of them from the kitchen and support staff, to the float staff, to the program directors, and the owners) and you would be giving your child the most amazing gift by sending them to TLC.

TLC is amazing! Caring staff, engaging activities, and top-notch facilities helped our children thrive. Our son gained confidence and joy, and our youngest is in the best hands.

Our little human graduated from The Little Campus this week and we are absolutely heartbroken to be leaving this wonderful place. Our child has had the most incredible 3 years at this centre and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to have such a phenomenal start to our child's educational journey. I don't even know where to begin to describe how magical this place is; from the amazing music program (yes, they came home singing the Beatles routinely!) to the STEAM program (their enthusiasm for science experiments grew constantly), our child came home happy and content at the end of every day. But the absolute best part? The staff and educators. They always went above and beyond to make the children feel safe, loved, and cared for. Everyday our baby would walk in and everyone would greet us with smiles and by name! TLC has been a gem of a place <3 It's been a blast! Thank you The Little Campus for everything! We will miss you all so much!

From the very first tour, we knew we had found something truly special in TLC. The atmosphere was warm, respectful, and filled with genuine care—a place where children are celebrated for who they are and supported in every aspect of their growth. It felt more like a second home than a daycare, a true community where every child is seen, heard, and valued.

Over the past year, our child has flourished in ways we could never have imagined. Each day begins with eager anticipation and ends with stories of laughter, learning, and new discoveries. Whether it’s singing songs, navigating obstacle courses, exploring science and early literacy, or sharing thoughtful observations, we are constantly amazed by the development and confidence we’ve witnessed.

TLC creates opportunities for connection and celebration that make families feel welcome and involved. Events like seasonal festivities, parent appreciation days, and school-wide activities have not only brought us joy but have also strengthened our sense of belonging in the community.

What truly sets TLC apart is the incredible team behind it. Every educator, specialist, and staff member contributes to an environment of compassion, intentionality, and excellence. From thoughtful classroom support to engaging enrichment programs and the attention given to meals, cleanliness, and safety—every detail reflects a deep commitment to the well-being and growth of each child.

Choosing an early childhood education setting is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are so grateful we chose TLC. It has made a lasting impact on our child’s development and on our family as a whole.

From our first visit, TLC felt like a second home. Warm, caring, and supportive, it’s helped our child flourish with laughter, learning, and confidence every day.

Sending our son to TLC was one of the best decisions we made to support his early development. We were so impressed by the expansive outdoor space; STEM, phys ed and music lessons; high-quality food and modern, spotless classrooms. But it’s the staff that really sets this place apart. Our son had many of the same teachers for years, and they treated him like family. We also received incredibly prompt and transparent communication from administrators, including the owner, whenever we reached out. Don’t hesitate to check it out if you’re looking for a truly warm, well-rounded daycare option for your child. We’ll miss you TLC :)

Sending our son to TLC was the best choice. Wonderful teachers, engaging lessons, great food, spotless classrooms, and caring staff made him thrive every day.
