Why Choose Lil' Hands Big Dreams?

Small Class Sizes
Here at LHBD, our small class sizes are one of the many reasons that give our center the "at home" atmosphere we strive to provide. We value individualized learning, and by keeping our class sizes small, we can ensure every child receives the love and attention they deserve.
Family Owned 
Built from the ground up, our center has been family owned and operated. We value the sense of family when it comes to every teacher, family, child and staff member that is apart of our program. At LHBD, we promise you will become family.
Dedicated Teachers
As those who look after your littles all day, we make sure that the teachers here at LHBD are not only education but have the experience as well. We encourage all of our staff members to go through schooling and training to continue their careers as Early Childhood Education Professionals.
You Become Family
We open not only our doors to new families but our hearts as well. You will often hear us reference the "LHBD Family" that is apart of our foundation. We have an ever-growing family that is made up of not only present families, but previous ones as well.
In Home Setting
It was our director's goal that LHBD gave the sense of an "at home" setting throughout our classrooms. Coming from years of experience of having her in-home daycare, she wanted to carry on that type of learning environment. At LHBD you will find comfy settings that let littles explore the world of learning.
Certified Center
Lil' Hands Big Dreams is a proud member of the Norwalk Community serving the littles of our town as well as many other surroundings. We have a fantastic reputation and an incredible DHS record that you can find on the DHS website! Twenty-two years in business with many more to come!
"Young children strive for understanding, independence and self-control. Their "work" is to learn about the world. They try to make sense and learn how to behave in this mysterious place. Children learn by exploring, experimenting and testing the limits of their environment and experience the consequences of their behavior. In this way, they come to understand their own limits and how the world works."
