About Us
We strive to make Little Blessings a place where our children feel a sense of security and responsibility
combined with a sense of freedom and trust. We see
socialization and "free time" as important as scheduled
projects. We want the children to feel at home while in our
care. |

Our Philosophy |
| |
It is our philosophy that each child is a unique gift of God
and should be given the opportunity to grow individually to
his or her fullest potential.
We believe that the best and most effective means of teaching
is through Love, Patience, Forgiveness, Faith and
Encouragement as exemplified through Jesus Christ.
In addition we believe that a loving and encouraging
environment combined with prayer and the love of God is the
strongest possible foundation for further learning and living.
We feel that the family unit ia an important part of the young
child's development, and encourage family participation in the
learning and growing process.

Our History |
| |
Little Blessings was founded in the fall of 1991 as a half-day
preschool program. We soon grew to include 2 preschool classes and
an afternoon kindergarten.
From 1994 to 2007, Little Blessings was located at 320 H Street,
sharing space with the congregation of Tri-County Christian
Center. The thirteen year joint tenure came to an end in
December 2007.
In
1998, as a response to many requests, we expanded to offer
full-day childcare for ages 3-12 and became licensed by the State
of Washington.
In
December 2007, we moved to our current permanent location at 100
N. Weber Rd. with this change came growth as we increased our
licensing capacity to 81 children between the ages of 2 1/2 thru
12 years old.

Our 5500 square foot building consists of
four separate classrooms, offices and full kitchen facilities. Our
fenced play yard or "park" as the children call it, has swings,
climbing dome, basketball hoop, an airplane and helicopter, castle,
ship and climber with slides, monkey bars and rock climbing wall;
plenty of grass and space to run and play.
Our keyless entry security system
insures that no unauthorized person is able to enter the facility
thereby providing a safe, secure environment for children and peace
of mind for our parents.
