At Little Critters Learning Center in West Jordan, we know that every stage of childhood brings its own unique magic, challenges, and milestones. Because we are a family-owned center—not a corporate chain—we have the freedom to design our classrooms around what children actually need. From their first coos to their elementary school homework, our “Purposeful Play” philosophy ensures your child learns, grows, and thrives in a secure, loving environment.
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step, which is why we’ve built our infant and toddler nursery to feel like a true “home away from home.” Partnered with DDI Vantage Early Headstart and holding a Top Star Certification, our caregivers prioritize emotional security, physical safety, and sensory discovery. As your baby transitions into an active toddler, our focus shifts to purposeful play, language development, and safe exploration. With our live-streaming camera system and real-time updates through the Brightwheel app, you will never miss a smile, a bottle, or a major milestone.
We don’t believe in the “terrible twos”—we celebrate the “Terrific Twos” and “Thriving Threes!” This age is characterized by an explosion of language and a fierce new sense of independence. Our play-based curriculum encourages hands-on experiences like messy sensory art, interactive storytelling, and outdoor exploration to build essential cognitive foundations. We also work closely with families to support major transitions, such as potty training, ensuring a consistent and positive experience between your home and our center.
Our preschool program bridges the gap between toddlerhood and formal education by keeping learning highly interactive. Instead of sitting at desks filling out worksheets, our preschoolers learn early literacy, math, and science through hands-on activities, tactile sensory bins, and collaborative group projects. We focus heavily on social-emotional development—teaching children how to share, negotiate, and show empathy—so they are fully prepared, resilient, and confident when it is time to head to Kindergarten.
The transition to “big school” is an exciting milestone that requires the right support. Our Kindergarten care program provides a structured yet flexible environment that seamlessly blends creative exploration with essential academic readiness. We help your child build their vocabulary, logical problem-solving skills, and social fluency. For families attending local elementary schools, we make the logistics easy by providing safe, reliable transportation to and from our West Jordan facility.
For busy parents, the gap between the school bell and the end of the workday can be highly stressful. We fill that gap with a safe, engaging program built specifically for elementary-aged students. We provide reliable bus service to local schools, including Ascent Academy, Fox Hollow, Hayden Peak, Copper Canyon, and more. Once back at the center, older “critters” have a dedicated space to unwind, tackle their homework with our support, and burn off energy through active play with their friends—all within a strictly nut-free, biometric-secured facility.
