Little Scribbles: The Story of a Local Daycare
Little Scribbles Learning Center owner Virginia Bohrn has been working with young children for over 20 years, gaining expertise in childcare methods. She has a passion for providing infant and toddler care in particular.
In 2022, the Little Scribbles Learning Center daycare center became available for purchase, and Virginia and her husband, Rod took this opportunity to follow a long-time dream. Virginia is excited to be able to continue providing excellent infant and child care as a local, small business owner.
Since Virginia took over, the teachers at Little Scribbles Learning Center have implemented an early childhood learning program with the babies and toddlers who are currently enrolled at the daycare center. This plan helps the children in their care to learn as much as possible, both socially and academically, setting their students up for life-long success.
Drop off and pick up at our early learning center is simple! We are close to the Eagle and Overland on-off ramps on I-84 next to the fire station.

Infant and Toddler Care at Little Scribbles
Children are divided into two different groups by age. 0-18 months (Babies Group) and 18 months to 5 years (Littles Group.) The facility is designed with age-appropriate play areas for each group.
We provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the children each day, using a rotating monthly meal plan. For special dietary needs such as allergies and lactose intolerance, parents can provide ingredients and we’ll make the child’s food separately to prevent cross-contamination.
At Little Scribbles Learning Center, we keep the kids busy during the day–except for naptime, of course! Activities vary a little day by day, with weekly and monthly letters, numbers, and other themes. We do a lot of work packets and crafts, with activities handmade by Virginia. We don’t include screen time every day, but when we do it comes in 15-minute increments, one as part of wiggle time, and one as a “My Baby Can Read” lesson. Our total screen time is capped at 30 minutes a day. There are frequent shifts in activities throughout each day, to keep the little ones involved and learning.

FAQ
1. Will your daycare service help to potty train my toddler
Yes! Along with the daily playtime and wiggle time a toddler needs, if your child (aged 2-5) is ready to potty train, we can introduce and work on potty training with them.
2. How does your early learning program prepare children for preschool or kindergarten?
Our early learning program blends structured learning and play to help children master early developmental skills. We teach colors, shapes, ABCs, numbers, and sign language, along with crafts, sensory projects, and listening activities that prepare kids for preschool and kindergarten success.
3. What meals and snacks are provided for children?
We provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily using a rotating monthly meal plan. If your child has food allergies or dietary restrictions, we’re happy to prepare separate meals with ingredients you provide to prevent cross-contamination.
4. How do parents stay updated on their child’s care?
We use the Procare app for easy daily updates! Parents can view reports on meals, diaper changes, naps, and activities, and even use the app for payments. You can also check in anytime on your child’s care using our secure parent-access webcams.
5. What should I bring when my child starts daycare?
We recommend bringing a change of clothes, diapers or pull-ups (if needed), comfort items like a blanket or pacifier, and any formula or bottles for infant care. We’ll review everything you need during your enrollment meeting so your child feels at home from day one.
