History

Little Angel Child Care Center was started in the home of Cheri Page in 1983 after the birth of her second child. Cheri wanted to stay home and raise her two children, but still needed to have an income. In 1983 Little Angel Child Care received a license to operate a family day care for eight children. In a few years, 1985, the center had grown to twelve children forcing Little Angel Child Care to relocate to accommodate the increase in children at a commercially zoned building to receive a new license for more children.

Cornerstone Assembly Church rented space to Little Angel Child Care to move into. After a short time Little Angel Child Care increased its license to accommodate 45 children. In 1988 there was a change in administration for the church and the church was put up for sale. At that time Little Angel Child Care was given notice that they would have to move out. Cheri Page and her family then purchased a large Victorian house at 1208 N. Oneida Street to move the center. At this new location it was licensed for 34 children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.

In 1993 Little Angel Child Care started an after-school program at 912 N. Oneida Street, Zion Lutheran Church. The location was great asset to Little Angel Child Care because it has a gym, park and large classrooms. Little Angel Child Care purchased a 12 passenger van to provide educational field trips for the children.
Many of the teachers have been with Little Angel Child Care Center for more then ten years and are dedicated to each child’s development. Our philosophy is that the children come first. It is important that all children are happy and learn through organized play and planned activities. We want all children to be exposed to music, art and literature every day of their life.
For the past twenty five years we encourage parents, community leaders and volunteers to join the board of directors for Little Angel Child Care. Little Angel Child Care is a not-for-profit organization.
