About
L’il Folks Learning Center, Inc. offers preschool and childcare services that include daycare, social emotional learning, before and/or after school care, and a full day summer camp. Children take part in daily story time, music, storytelling, meals, playtimes, naps, and a plan-do-review sequence as part of the daily routine.
• Ages: 2–12 years old
• Schedule: Open 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• Price: First Week FREE ($200 Value); $110.00 yearly registration fee covering enrollment management from September through August.
L’il Folks Learning Center, Inc. uses the HighScope preschool curriculum, which involves a steady daily schedule and a balanced range of activities, with the plan-do-review sequence described as the most crucial part of the daily routine. The program includes teacher-led preschool curriculum during the regular school year from September to June, and uses the summer months as review time to enhance what children have learned during the school year. The center offers before and after school childcare, all day care for school closing, and summer camp, and also provides daycare for families who are subsidized through the Department of Social Services.
The director, Tiffany, holds a master’s degree in early childhood education, and the owner and president, Melissa S. Vick, Ed.S., has thirty years in the field of education. Melissa S. Vick earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Christopher Newport College in 1992, a Master’s degree in Educational Technology, and an Education Specialist (Ed.S) degree from George Washington University, and also serves as Director of Operations for Sawco Self Storage. Staff in the classroom are described as trained and educated in early childhood development, and lead staff personnel must have the training and education required by standards set forth in the state of Virginia.
The center states that it is a holistic child-focused early learning center and a privately owned organization whose main mission is to provide a caring and safe learning environment where children can feel a sense of belonging and parents can have “peace of mind” while leaving their children in its care. Daycares in Virginia now fall under the umbrella of the Virginia Department of Education, and the HighScope preschool curriculum used at L’il Folks Learning Center, Inc. is approved by the Virginia Department of Education. The program notes that it surpasses state standards of quality in many ways and maintains class sizes smaller than what the state requires for teacher to staff ratios.
L’il Folks Learning Center, Inc. reports that it has been in business since the year 2000, has been in operation for 22 years, and has provided care and preschool for Carrollton, Virginia and surrounding areas for over two decades. The center states that it is Carrollton’s highest rated and most reviewed daycare/preschool and that it provides care for second-generation students whose parents once attended the center.
The facility is described as a daycare/preschool setting with secure center access, a state license prominently displayed, and detailed sign-in/sign-out procedures using the HiMama app and computer sign-in. Children are required to wash hands upon entering, and the routine and schedule are posted on the walls. The program also notes open communication with parents via the HiMama app, email, phone, website form, and Facebook messenger, and states that only those with designated access are allowed entrance into the facility.
Additional daily practices include saying the blessing before lunch and teaching the pledge of allegiance. One parent testimonial from Zach describes him as a “helicopter dad” who initially felt skeptical but later reported being very happy with the program and highly recommending L’il Folks Learning Center, Inc. after seeing his children’s excitement and hearing about their days.
