Our Teachers

After becoming a parent, I experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find trustworthy, flexible child care. That journey inspired me to open a program where families feel confident and supported. With a background in education and a passion for helping children thrive, I believe each child grows in their own unique way when given a safe, loving, and encouraging environment.

Philosophy

At Little Shining Stars, we’re dedicated to nurturing each child’s development through individualized attention and care. We’ve created a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe, valued, and respected. Our program fosters a strong sense of belonging and community while providing the structure and guidance children need to learn, play, and grow.

Location

Little Shining Stars is conveniently located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in Okemos, MI, near major routes like Okemos Road and Interstate 96. We’re just minutes from local landmarks such as Kinawa Middle School, Chippewa Middle School, and the Okemos Public Library. Our program is nestled in a welcoming community with free on-site parking and easy access for families during drop-off and pick-up.

About our program

Located in Okemos, Little Shining Stars offers a mixed-age program that supports learning through play, creativity, and exploration. Children enjoy enriching outdoor spaces and hands-on educational activities in a setting that feels like home. We believe in building strong connections with each child and family to support development at every stage.
