CALLING ALL TEACHERS!
Little Village Early Learning Center is hiring.
Little Village ELC is a small, family-owned child care center located in the heart of Dundas.
In December of 2010, Tawna Schneider (Owner/Director) opened an in-home child care in Northfield which later moved to Dundas. This gave her the opportunity to be home with her own children; a son (Gavinn) and two daughters’ (MiaRae and Savannah), while also being able to create an income for her family by providing quality care to many families over the years. Tawna truly enjoyed working with and teaching each of the children in her care, in a fun, explorative, and safe environment, but she felt as though something was missing. From the time that Tawna was little, she knew that she would be a daycare provider one day, although, as she grew, she started to dream of one day creating, owning, and operating a child care center of her own. Fast forward a few years later and she finally made it happen! In 2020, Tawna and her husband Charlie purchased the property and building in Dundas and immediately started renovations. Charlie, Tawna, their three children and many family and friends worked hard to help and make Tawna’s dreams come true.
Kind words from Little Village parents
“Tawna consistently impressed us with her energy, creativity, even-headedness, and the genuine love she expressed for her kids and families. I felt confident that my daughter’s days were balanced with significant time outdoors, reading time, fun and novel arts and crafts, quality playtime with peers, and attentive adults. As new parents, we deeply valued Tawna’s dependable non-judgmental support. She was a study pillar for our family, and our daughter will forever cherish the memories she made with Tawna and her friends.”
Karin Jokela
“Tawna provides an inviting, structured, and fun learning environment. She partners well with parents for the best of each child; caring about their individual strengths, challenges and needs, and then willing to seek out and try new ways to encourage every child’s positive behavior, growth and happiness.”
Jessica Janssen
“Our daughter loved attending daycare everyday, Tawna is so easy to work with. She kept the kids busy and engaged. And her fun spirit and easy going attitude makes it super nice for the kids and parents!”
