At Little & Loved, our team is the heart of everything we do.
We are a small group of intentional, educators who believe preschool should feel safe, fun, and deeply human. Each member of our team is here because they value connection over compliance, curiosity over pressure, and children over systems.
As a boutique, community-based preschool, we are able to keep learning simple, fun, and meaningful. Our educators take the time to truly know each child — their interests, their needs, and their pace — and create learning experiences that honor the whole child.
Our approach is guided by educators who lead with warmth, consistency, and care. We believe children learn best when they feel loved, seen, and supported — and that starts with the people who walk beside them every day.
Little & Loved is proud to serve families in our local community with a preschool experience that feels personal, intentional, and refreshing. Together, our team is setting a new standard for early childhood education — rooted in genuine care.
