Little Hearts of Clinton began with Emily, who started a home daycare after moving to Clinton and recognizing a growing need for quality childcare. What began as Emily’s Care became the foundation for what is now Little Hearts of Clinton Daycare Center.
Emily’s vision was to create a place where families in the community could rely on safe, high-quality childcare that meets the standards set by the Department of Children and Family Services, while still feeling just like home. That warm, welcoming, home-like atmosphere remains at the heart of everything we do.
Little Hearts of Clinton is a teacher-owned center, giving us a unique perspective that places the needs of children first. Our staff are carefully chosen for their passion for education and held to high professional standards. We believe that strong relationships, consistency, and a nurturing environment lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
