Welcome to Little Diamond Daycare — A Foundation for Bright Futures
At Little Diamond Daycare, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can thrive during their most important developmental years. We recognize that every child is unique and full of potential — like a diamond waiting to shine.
Our dedicated team of qualified educators and caregivers fosters growth through structured learning, creative play, and positive social interaction. With a focus on early childhood education, we aim to support each child's cognitive, emotional, and physical development in a warm, respectful atmosphere.
Choosing a daycare is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Little Diamond Daycare, we take that responsibility seriously and partner with families to ensure each child receives the highest standard of care.
A safe place to grow. A trusted place to learn. A bright place to begin.

What we provide
We provide high-quality childcare and early education in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. Our services are designed to meet the needs of each child while supporting families with flexible and dependable care.
Healthy food
Our meals and snacks are prepared with fresh, wholesome ingredients to provide children with the energy and nutrients they need throughout the day.
We offer a balanced menu that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins, while limiting sugar and processed foods. Every meal is designed to encourage healthy eating habits and to teach children the importance of making good food choices.
Early Learn
Our early learning program focuses on sensory development, language, motor skills, and emotional bonding.
Through gentle interactions, age-appropriate toys, songs, and movement, babies develop curiosity, confidence, and early cognitive skills. Each activity is designed to support their natural development while ensuring safety and comfort.
Social Skills
Working together helps children develop important social skills such as communication, cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving.
Our programs include games, projects, and activities designed to promote collaboration and respect for others. By participating in teamwork, children gain confidence, build friendships, and learn how to contribute positively to a group — skills that will benefit them for life.
Independent
We foster independence in children by encouraging them to explore, make choices, and take responsibility in a safe and supportive environment. Developing independence helps children gain confidence, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills.
Through age-appropriate activities such as self-help tasks, decision-making games, and creative projects, children learn to trust their abilities and take initiative. Our goal is to empower each child to grow confidently and become capable, resilient, and curious individuals.
Our Story – A Mother. A Grandmother. A Dream.
Little Diamond Daycare was born from a very personal journey — one that many parents know all too well.
As a mother and now a proud grandmother, I know firsthand the incredible joy of raising children… and the incredible weight of responsibility that comes with it. I’ve been the mom rushing out the door with a baby on one hip and a to-do list a mile long. I’ve worked full-time jobs while wondering if my children were safe, happy, and loved while I was away. I’ve stayed up late with fevers, packed lunches before sunrise, and held tiny hands through big feelings.
And now, I watch my own daughter walk the same path — balancing motherhood, work, and life with strength and grace. But I also know how hard it is. No parent should have to do it alone.
That’s why Little Diamond Daycare is more than a business to me. It’s a mission. A calling. A safe haven built from love, experience, and the belief that when mothers, grandmothers, and teachers come together, we can create something truly special for our children.
Here, we understand the emotional weight of dropping your child off in someone else’s care. We’ve been there. That’s why we do everything with heart — from creating a warm, welcoming space to nurturing every child as if they were our own.
At Little Diamond Daycare, we’re not just caregivers — we’re partners in parenthood.
Because with the right support, we can raise strong, kind, confident children — together.
