About Precious Littles

Precious Littles Early Childhood Development Center, Inc. was founded in 1994 by Bridgette Turner, who is still presently the Executive Director, and was raised in the "Vailsburg" area. Bridget Turner had a vision and a dream to educate the children and families in the community, and for children to have a healthy start to their primary years of their educational life.

The Center started as a small storefront day care center, with a capacity of only holding 28 children. Two years after it's existence, the community sought a need for more infant and toddler childcare slots, so Precious Littles adhered to the demand of the community by expanding its space by knocking a wall down and adding an additional 20 slots to the center. Two years after that, there became a demand for preschool slots, based on the state Supreme Court decision (Abbot). So Precious Littles found a building to purchase, purchased it and made it a preschool site, which holds a capacity of fifty children. So, from 1994 to Present, Precious Littles has grown in size, recognition and accomplishments.

At the End of year 2000, The Board of Directors and the Executive Director revisited the mission and vision of Precious Littles and realized that Precious Littles was no longer a day care center, the Center had turned into a Early Childhood Educational Facility, that was offering much more than just day care services. Precious Littles was providing and decided to continue to answer to the calls of the community, and in doing so, the Center had been providing family services, health screenings, counseling, job training, lending libraries, resources and referrals, etc. So, the Board of Directors and the Executive decided to expand on services by (1) changing the name from Precious Littles Day Care Center, Inc. to Precious Littles Early Childhood Development Center, Inc. (2) incorporating Precious Littles Community Outreach Center, (3) changing the mission from saying "highest quality child care services" to say we provide "highest quality family services."

Precious Littles Board of Directors and Executive Director has also voted and decided to amend the original By-Laws to add more board members and committees, so that Precious Littles can continue to effectively enhance current programs and expand and/or add new programs in the community.
