Philosophy

At Mary’s Little Lambs, we believe children learn and grow best when they are in a safe and loving environment and when their needs as individuals are understood and met. We provide a loving in-home child care program that features fun, play-based learning and has an expansive collection of activities, toys, books, and games. We encourage children to communicate, work together as a group and, above all, take care of one another. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with your child and family.

​

Location

Mary’s Little Lambs is located in the Fillmore Center in the heart of Fillmore. It’s a multicultural location just minutes away from our local playground that hosts children from around the neighborhood.

We are located just feet away from grocery stores. Healthy food options are a very important part of Mary’s Little Lambs.

A few other nearby places include a library, art studio, gym, and garden. Everything needed for a fun and productive day of play and adventure is just a short distance away.

About our program

Daytime & Nighttime Care

We provide daytime and nighttime options for enrollment. Please be aware that your child cannot enroll in both for any 24-hour period.

Behavioral Management

Mary’s Little Lambs behavioral management philosophy involves setting limits and offering guidance and positive reinforcement. Unacceptable behavior is explained based on the child’s age and level of comprehension. If repeated problematic behavior occurs, Mary Jean will contact the parent in an effort to work towards a resolution together.

Outings

We often take outings into the community. This includes trips to local playgrounds, businesses, classes, city services (such as fire and police departments), and other children’s attractions.
