Our mission is to provide a creative, safe, and educational environment that nurtures and supports each child’s unique qualities and potential. At LadyBug, we believe the earliest years are the most formative. Our infant and toddler program is designed to foster curiosity, build confidence, and celebrate each developmental milestone. Through age-appropriate activities, compassionate care, and a play-based curriculum, we create a foundation for lifelong learning.
We partner with families to ensure every child feels valued, secure, and excited to explore the world around them. Our experienced caregivers understand that each baby develops at their own pace, and we're committed to honoring that individuality while encouraging growth in social, emotional, cognitive, and physical areas.

What Our Families Say
Hear from the parents who trust us with their most precious treasures every day.
The transition from daycare to school couldn’t be more important and Ladybug Preschool taught my 3 year old to LOVE SCHOOL! She is showered with personal attention, inspired through creative play, has made amazing new friends, and learned more than we honestly expected at her age. All achieved through the tireless dedication and endless imagination of Teacher Erica and her supportive team. Thanks for setting her on the right track and making this first year a true joy.
Tammy D.
We are beyond thrilled with our experience at Ladybug School and feel incredibly lucky to have been part of the Ladybug family! Our son, Luke, has thrived there. Not only are the kids academically stimulated in unique and collaborative ways, they are nurtured and loved by the most caring staff of teachers.We honestly wish we could spend another year at this special school.
