About Laura

A bit of story behind Laura Lee’s Little Learning Center

Welcome!

First of all, I would like to thank you for considering my services for your child. I started doing childcare in 2006 when my two children were 2.5 and 1 years old. I wanted to stay home with my children while still earning an income to help pay our mortgage. I also felt this would be a great opportunity for my children to build friendships and get to play with other children on a daily basis.

My Story

I opened a license not required childcare program out of my home. I started off with 2 children for the first couple years and as my children got older and less dependent on me I thought it would be fun for them to have more friends in our home as well for me to earn a better income. I decided to get my house licensed so I could look after more children in a safe environment. I had up to 7 children in my home between the ages 1 to 7 years.

After a few years of doing this we had to downsize our house as my husband at the time was just getting his business started and I decided to go back to school to get my ECE. I had to close my daycare. It was hard on my children because they formed such a strong bond with all their little daycare friends as did I.

I went back to school for two years and then got hired as an ECE with JellyBean Park Early Learning Center. This was a great experience for me as I got a chance to work with a variety of age groups including infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I realized during this time how much I enjoy working with children and that this truly is the career that brings a smile to my face each and every day.

In August 2014 with the help of my parents I was able to purchase a beautiful 3 level home in Clayton, Surrey that backs onto a large green space.  I felt this would be the perfect location to open a daycare once again. 

 

I left Jellybean Park after 3 years and renovated the basement of our new home, and I am very happy to have been able to open my new licensed multi-age group childcare in January 2016.

My children are now teenagers and attend Clayton Heights Secondary. 

I look forward to meeting new families and hope to continue offering my services in the Clayton area for many years to come!
