Lil Folks Learning Center, Carrollton

L'il Folks Learning Center is a privately owned center, licensed by the state of Virginia. We follow the required minimum standards provided to all licensed Centers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. L'il Folks is owned by Bryan and Melissa S. Babb. Melissa S. Babb holds a degree in Early Childhood Education, and has 12 years experience working within the public and private school sectors. Currently she is working at Isle of Wight Academy teaching Fourth Grade. L'il Folks was opened in the year 2000. During this time, our center was licensed for approximately 55 children. The center grew very rapidly and we decided to expand. It was at this time we decided to accept babies. We have really enjoyed adding the infants to our program. We are currently licensed to hold 108 children. By the year 2001, the A Beka curriculum was adopted as the primary curriculum. We use the academic portion of this curriculum which has a strong phonics based reading program. L'il Folks offers children a wide variety of new experiences while holding traditional values as well. We say prayers before all meals and snacks, and holidays are celebrated at L'il Folks. We are happy to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, July 4th, birthdays, etc. Halloween is simply celebrated by letting the children wear their costumes to school and lots of great party food. Parents are encouraged to participate and will be asked to sign up for food, drinks, etc.
