Little Derby Daycare’s Philosophy:

My home is a safe place for all children. I want to provide a developmentally based program that is designed to help all children at any age. I will work to develop a caring, respectful, and responsive relationship with each child. I will respect every child’s individual learning pattern and timing of growth, as well as their individual personality, learning style, interests, culture, and family background.
