When you enroll in a contracted spot, we hold your child's spot and turn other people away.  We have committed to your family, we appreciate the same respect in return.  We understand you need to find the right fit for your family, but please do your homework first.  Your deposit is an insurance of your decision to sign up with us and honor the contracted terms.  If you decide not to attend; we suffer loss of business-- yours and those clients we turned away.  This is a security deposit, similar to the security deposit you are required to provide a housing rental.  In order to apply the 2 week deposit to your last contract payment at the end of your agreement, if you follow the terms of your contract.

You may alternatively sign up per Seasonal Session and pay in full or for Atelier ala carte, where you can pick your dates and you pay up front, but have no contract.

As a rule no.  Since we are a small facility it becomes very difficult for us to offer everyone a discounted rate, while maintaining our high standards of care and instruction.  We will however consider each family individually and we do offer "Special Offers" from time to time.

Great question!  I was and still am a mosaic tile artist/designer and had just finished training to be an interior designer and organizational consultant when the recession hit the construction industry, resulting in our closure of our design/remodel company.  

We decided to utilize our skills and convert an area of our home as a rental/Bed and Breakfast.  After going back to work as a Nanny I realized I wished go back to my original calling as a Teacher, open my own school (more in my bio) and LittleLiving was hatched.  Since I already had the website and domain and I planned to keep doing mosaic tile and perhaps being a BnB host, it seemed best to make LittleLiving a part of the existing company, FilteredLiving.
