Elsa and Enrique Roman founded The Little School Centre for Integral Child Development in 1985. It started with a total capacity of 16 preschoolers and was located on Gerald St. in Cumberland. The School's strong emphasis on its program's educational contents became the Centre's trademark from the beginning.
A discount of 10% for the youngest child is offered to families with two or more children. We remind you that the monthly fees are a blended rate, calculated by taking the total number of days the Centre is open in the year and dividing it by 12 months. Statutory holidays are included in the calculation, and days that the Centre is closed in December are not charged for.
It is a policy at The Little School that the Criminal Reference Check be one component of our overall selection criteria for all new employees.

The Little School Daycare has provided an exceptional nurturing environment for my toddler. I saw marked improvements in my son’s communication and social interaction skills within a few first months. He is always excited to go to his class and it only took him a short 2 weeks to adjust. The team of educators in the toddler room is top notch - passionate, caring and engaged. I appreciate all the communications we get though the HiMama app. I get daily photo collages, notes, frequent messages and educator updates. Any special requests from me were quickly addressed. The daycare puts out a lot

The Little School is a wonderful daycare! I feel confident knowing that my child is working with very experienced staff, eating healthy food, spending time outside, engaging with peers and having new learning experiences every day. We are truly very happy :) Thank you for being part of our child's life and learning!

This preschool/daycare is almost worth moving to Orleans for your children to attend. Best in Ottawa. What a hidden gem. My son (in Jr. Kindergarden) attended the Glebe Montesorri and another private academy before we moved east. Not only does he seem to be thriving even more at the Little School, he also greatly enjoys the education. What a treat that the staff show the little ones that learning can be mixed with true fun.
The classroom is rich with different sensory, language, logic/structure, tactile activities (a couple photos of activities below). Live plants and cute guinea pigs are ever

My toddler LOVES going here- she points and pulls me out the door in the morning to get to school. The infant room staff are amazing! They are always doing something new and exciting for the Littles to learn and thrive. I have always been an anxious person, but I feel confident and reassured that my daughter is in good hands at TLS. I Recommend this center to anyone who is looking for somewhere to send their tiny human.

We love our new daycare. My daughter is learning so much and she truly enjoys herself. I also love the use of the HiMama app. It makes my day brighter to see all the cute photos of my child posted throughout the day, enjoying her time at The Little School. We also really appreciate our educators, who are so considerate and caring. The menu is also great and the facilities are wonderful!
