Infants, Toddlers & Twos: Nurturing Growth from the Very Start

At Little Critters Learning Center, we know that the first few years of a child’s life are a whirlwind of milestones. From the first social smile to the first independent steps, these moments are the building blocks of a lifelong love for learning. Our infant and toddler programs in West Jordan provide a safe, high-quality environment where your “little critter” can explore the world at their own pace, backed by the peace of mind that only a family-owned center can provide.

Our Story: Built on 25 Years of Friendship

The story of Little Critters began long before our doors opened. Two of our owners, Mechelle and Niki, have shared a close bond for over 25 years. Their journey started when Mechelle began caring for Niki’s children, sparking a lifelong friendship rooted in a shared passion for early childhood development.

Along with our third owner, Steve, they saw a specific need for a high-quality, family-operated childcare center in the West Jordan community—a place where children aren’t just “watched,” but are truly valued and nurtured. Today, that vision is a reality. As a family-owned business, we don’t answer to a corporate office; we answer to the families who walk through our doors every morning.

Infants: A Foundation of Love (6 Weeks – 12 Months)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a monumental step. We have designed our infant program to be a “home away from home,” prioritizing emotional security and physical safety above all else.

Our highly trained caregivers focus on individualized care, following your baby’s unique schedule for feeding, sleeping, and play. Because we are Top Star Certified and partnered with DDI Vantage Early Headstart, our nursery isn’t just a place for naps; it’s a space for sensory discovery. We engage our littlest learners with soft textures, music, and plenty of “tummy time” to build motor skills.

  • The “Window” to Their Day: We know you miss them. Our live-streaming camera system lets you log in and see your baby’s smiles in real time, while the Brightwheel app provides updates on every bottle and nap.

Toddlers: Tiny Explorers (12 – 24 Months)

Once children are on the move, their curiosity becomes boundless. Our toddler program is centered around Purposeful Play. At this age, “learning” looks like stacking blocks, finger painting, and exploring our secure indoor play areas.

We focus heavily on:

  • Language Development: Through daily stories, songs, and constant interaction with our teachers.
  • Social Interaction: Helping toddlers navigate their first friendships and learn the basics of sharing and empathy.
  • Physical Milestones: Providing a clean, kept-up facility where they can safely practice walking, climbing, and coordination.

Nutrition & Safety: Our Non-Negotiables

We believe a healthy body fuels a healthy mind. Our kitchen staff prepares delicious homemade meals tailored to what children actually enjoy, incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables. Most importantly, we are a strictly nut-free facility with rigorous allergy protocols to keep every child safe.

Security is our top priority. From our biometric code-entry system to our mandatory background checks for all staff, we have created a “fortress of fun” that protects your child.
