Little Pow Wow, Inc. began its mission in 1967.  We have provided quality childcare and education for the children of Northeast Tennessee on a continuous basis longer than any other childcare organization in the area. We have four Center locations throughout the area, but one phone number and one mailing address so we can help you choose the Center that is most convenient for you.

 

We Understand The Parents Concerns…

As a parent, the most important thing in the world is the well-being of your child.  The first thing you need to know about any childcare arrangement is: will your child be safe and properly cared for? As a partner in your child's future, we realize the importance of a safe, secure environment.  All of our centers meet the official licensing requirements for both health and safety standards, and for the number of children supervised by each staff member.  The people who care for the children up to 9 or 10 hours per day must be 100% worthy of a parent’s trust. All of our teachers/caregivers are professionally trained, thoroughly screened before hiring and well supervised as they perform the welcome task of giving kindness, encouragement and praise to the children.

 

All of our centers have Open Door Policies; parents of enrolled children may visit at any time, no appointment is ever necessary.  Directors and staff are proud of their centers and are eager to take interested parents on an extensive tour of the facility.  Because we want our Director's time to be dedicated to you and your child, no business or information telephone calls are taken at the centers. All business calls and calls from prospective parents are answered at a central office location, where the appropriate time and attention can be given to the call. Parents of enrolled children will be given a special, private telephone number just for their use. This line goes directly to the center so that they may speak with the director or inquire about their child.

 

A Time To Play And A Time To Learn…

Our family of childcare centers offers a true learning experience for children. Our centers utilize the A Beka curriculum.  This teaching method is dedicated to providing quality education from a Christian perspective.  Our preschool children learn everything necessary for Kindergarten through the use of Bible stories, puppets, workbooks, songs, games and finger plays. 

 

Without exception, private and public studies have shown that children with preschool experience adjust better and are more motivated when they make the transition to primary grades. The beginning of school is no longer a traumatic giant step, but instead becomes a small, natural step on the path to greater educational experiences.

 

For The Parent and the Child…

Being a good parent isn't easy. Today, raising a child in a way that causes them too become a well-rounded, well-adjusted young person is one of life's most difficult tasks. Parents know, as do we, how much energy, how much trial and error, how much gentle urging and cheerful encouragement it takes…how much psychological insight, instinctive understanding and how much love is necessary.  At our family of centers, that's what we are here for:  Right in your neighborhood; for you; for your child, whenever you need us.

 

Our Mission and Philosophy

The mission of our centers is to provide quality child care and education for the children entrusted to our care, while providing peace of mind to their parents.  The philosophy of our centers is based upon a set of strongly held beliefs:

 

In our children…

We believe that children have the right to a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable. We recognize that each child is an individual and as such, must be allowed to develop at his or her own pace.  We fully appreciate the importance of play in a child’s life and believe that we must foster an environment that takes every opportunity to enhance a child’s development.  We believe that children need a constant sense of security when they are away from their parents.  We believe in providing it.

 

In our parents…

We believe that our purpose is to provide parents with quality child care services on a professional and consistent basis.  There is nothing more important than the children entrusted to us.  We believe that parents deserve peace of mind when they are away from their children.  We believe in providing it.
