Little Treasures Child Development Center 10273 Samuel Road, Carterville, IL 62918

"I absolutely love this daycare! Both of my children go here (1 and 2) and we've had only positive experiences. They form true, trusting relationships with both the kids and the families. They are very transparent and open in communication, and really go above and beyond in every capacity. In the infant room, we have come to call one of the girls my daughters "daycare mommy" because she adores her so and she is the only person my baby gets excited to leave me for (stings a little, haha, but how can you be upset that someone is taking such good care of your kid?!?) Both my kids get so excited when they walk-in and see their friends and teachers. My family is moving away and I told them I will miss this daycare and their amazing staff more than some of my own family! I honestly wish I could take this place with us, you 110% will NOT regret putting your kids here!"

"Little Treasures is the best childcare facility in southern Illinois. We have teachers that truly love and care for the children that we are trusted with on a daily basis. This is by far the cleanest and most welcoming daycare center that I have ever had the privilege of working for. If your looking for employment, our Little Treasure family is the best, hands down! If your looking for childcare, our facility is the best place that you can truly trust and count on and you can leave your children for the day knowing they are in the best and most capable hands with the best & most trusted owners, directors and teachers that southern Illinois has to offer."

"Before choosing Little Treasures for my son, I toured lots of other daycares in our area. Lori and her staff were 100% the best choice! I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else! He is 2 now and he’s been going for about 8 months. He absolutely loves it!! Knowing how well he is cared for makes it much easier for me to drop him off every morning."

"We love and appreciate having a place like Little Treasures for our little one! As new, working parents, we were instantly comfortable with the clean environment and loving, helpful staff as soon as we walked through the door. We are always greeted with a smile, and by name by all of the staff. Lori and Libbie are amazing ladies to work with, and are always helpful with any/all questions we might have. This childcare came highly recommended to us, and we will always give the highest recommendation to anyone and everyone now that we are enrolled! Thank you, Little Treasures and staff for all that you do!"

"If there were a million stars I could check on this form I would because Little Treasures is more than a 5 star place! As a parent who works long hours, I have comfort in knowing that when my kids enter their school they are happy, well taken care of and genuinely loved. They are thriving little individuals who have an extreme amount of knowledge because their teachers have taken the time to teach them. LT is not just a place I drop my kids off so they can run around and play. They are learning on a daily basis. The daycare has taught them manners, helped them build friendships, encouraged them to use their imagination, and even potty trained my son (which was a task in itself). Lori and her staff are people that I have come to know and love!!!!! I even consider them extended family. My children love their teachers. If you knew me personally, you would know that it takes a great deal of trust on my end to let others care for my children. I can wholeheartedly tell you this is a wonderful place! If you intend on putting your child in a daycare, I would highly recommend giving LTCDC a chance."
