Locally owned since 1996. Accredited & Florida Gold Seal
Our Mission
To surround children with exceptional teachers and an environment that builds character, curiosity, and resilience that compound long after they leave.
Our Philosophy
The Teacher, Child, Family Framework
Our guiding principle is alignment: teachers supported and trained, children safe and steadily challenged, and families kept in the loop with clear communication
- Teachers: supported, trained, and equipped to do great work
- Children: cared for in a safe, structured environment that builds confidence and curiosity
- Families: true partners through clear, consistent communication
Why Families Choose us:
For nearly 30 years, families in Jacksonville, including those here in East Arlington, have chosen Little Britches for one reason: verified quality, not just promises.
We’re proud to hold a rare ‘Triple Crown’ of early learning standards:
- Guiding Stars of Duval certified provider
- Florida Gold Seal program
- National Accreditation Commission (NAC) accreditation
When you enroll, you’re not just choosing childcare—you’re choosing a long-running standard of care.
About Us
Locally owned for over 30 years. Built for the long term.
We have been a locally owned and operated center for over 30 years. Unlike many childcare operators, whether small one-off centers, franchise systems, or private equity-backed chains, we reinvest a meaningful portion of our profits back into what families actually experience: our teachers, classrooms, safety standards, materials, and communication.
This is not just another business to us. Our mission and our Teacher, Child, Family framework guide how we hire, train, and lead, and how we show up every day.
