Little Learners Charities is a childcare center in Price, Utah. It is the only Department of Workforce Services (DWS)-certified daycare in the community and has a dedicated clientele. However, the management wanted to improve the business to make it an even better place for families to find great childcare.

Little Learners is now on firm financial footing and the website is bringing multiple new clients every week. They are on a strong path do increase their DWS rating, certifying that they are one of the top-quality childcare centers in Utah.
