Our Teachers

Ms. Jessie Gao, MS in International Trade, has over 9 years of experience in early childhood education and a proven track record of creating successful childcare programs. Her journey began in May 2015 when she founded her first family daycare, We Do Care ECDP. Four years later, she co-established Oxbridge Preschool, which quickly earned a stellar reputation in the community. In 2023, she partnered to launch the Westchester Child Development Center, an after-school program that experienced rapid growth and success. In her unwavering dedication to both her own children and her passion for early education, Ms. Gao chose to return to her roots, founding another group family day care in her home. This allows her to continue pursuing her mission of nurturing young minds while being present for her family. Ms. Gao’s expertise spans caring for infants as young as six weeks to school-age children. She is a certified Positive Discipline Educator for both parenting and classroom settings, emphasizing the importance of instilling values and fostering a bright future for children through education. Driven by her love for children, Ms. Gao is committed to growing alongside them, creating a warm, enriching environment where every child can thrive.

All the staff who will be interacting with the children have completed reference checks, Health and Safety training required by the state of NY, infant and adult CPR, medical, and CBC checks.

Their records will be updated annually and will also receive professional development throughout their time in Little Wisdom.

Philosophy

At Little Wisdom Family Day Care, our mission is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically. We are dedicated to fostering a love of learning, building strong character, and celebrating the unique potential of every child in our care.

Through personalized attention, creative play, and meaningful experiences, we aim to:

• Inspire Curiosity: Encourage children to explore the world around them with wonder and confidence. • Promote Growth: Support each child’s developmental milestones in a loving, family-oriented setting. • Cultivate Relationships: Build a strong sense of community by fostering respect, kindness, and understanding among children, families, and caregivers. • Empower Families: Partner with parents to create a collaborative approach that supports the well-being and success of their child. At Little Wisdom Family Day Care, we believe that the early years are the foundation for a lifetime of wisdom, compassion, and joy. Together, we guide little minds with big dreams to a bright and promising future.
