Our Teachers

Hi, my name is Amanda Aljets and I am the owner of Little Giggles And Grins Daycare Center, LLC. We’ve been open since January, 2022. I graduated from OTC (Ozark Technical Community College) with a certificate in Early Childhood Development in 2023. I have always had a passion for childcare and enjoy building lasting relationships with their families. Two years ago, I decided to open an in-home daycare to provide the families in my community with affordable and trustworthy childcare. I truly love what I do and will treat your children like my very own!
