Where Little Hearts
Grow Big Dreams

At Little Tots Family Child Care, we provide a warm, safe, and nurturing home-based environment where children feel loved, supported, and inspired to grow. Located in Westford, MA, our EEC-licensed program is thoughtfully designed to offer personalized care for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.

As both an experienced caregiver and a mom, I understand how important it is to find a place where your child feels secure and happy. With over 5 years of hands-on childcare experience, along with CPR and First Aid certification, I am committed to creating a "home away from home" where every child receives individual attention and care.

Our program focuses on play-based learning that supports each child's social, emotional, and developmental growth. Through engaging activities, structured routines, and plenty of free play, children build confidence, creativity, and essential early learning skills at their own pace.

"Geethika has been an excellent caregiver for both my children for so many years. My kids are 11 and 5 now and she was the first caregiver both my kids stayed with and they still love her dearly. Geethika is a kind, responsible and sweet soul who loves children and they love her back in return. She is punctual, creative, responsible and takes her job seriously. I highly recommend her for anyone!"

"I highly recommend the child care services provided by Geethika of Little Tots Family Child Care. She took care of my child starting when he was just 3 months old while I was working. During the day, she sent us pictures of my child, which gave us a lot of reassurance. She is truly dedicated and caring."
