THE HEART BEHIND LITTLE LEARNERS
Caring for children is my passion and always has been.
MEET BRITTANY
A love of children.
A purpose behind the play.
Brittany Patton founded Little Learners around a simple belief: children deserve opportunities to learn through their own curiosity, grow in independence, and explore the world around them.
Her background includes preschool leadership, pediatric nursing, health education, and youth ministry. That experience shapes a Christian family childcare program that cares about the whole child.
Come with your questions—about the people providing daily care, your child’s routine, and what matters most to your family.
Let’s get to know each otherMORE THAN A WAY TO FILL THE DAY
Play with a purpose.
Room to be little.
We bring early learning into everyday experiences, with activities that respond to children’s interests and developmental needs.
CURIOSITY & INDEPENDENCE
“I can try it myself.”
Hands-on activities, nature exploration, and opportunities to make choices encourage children to ask questions, solve problems, and practice new skills at their own pace.
FAITH & CHARACTER
Little hearts grow, too.
Our Christian approach includes Bible stories, songs, and character development. Faith is part of the program, alongside the joy of learning and playing together.
A LITTLE LEARNER’S DAY
