Welcome to Little Lyons Childcare, Where Emporia’s Children Learn, Grow & Thrive
At Little Lyons Childcare, we believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and inspiring place to learn. Our experienced teachers create a nurturing environment where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers develop confidence, curiosity, creativity, and the skills they need for lifelong success.
Serving children from birth through age 6, our early childhood education programs combine structured learning, hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and meaningful social experiences to help every child reach their fullest potential. We recognize that every child learns differently, which is why our inclusive approach celebrates each child’s unique strengths while encouraging growth academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Whether your family is looking for trusted infant care, engaging toddler programs, or a preschool that prepares children for kindergarten, Little Lyons Childcare provides the personalized attention and supportive environment parents can trust.
We’re proud to serve families throughout Emporia and Lyon County, offering quality childcare where children feel valued, families feel supported, and learning is an exciting adventure every day.

Harry E. Bovay, Jr. Resource Room
The Harry E. Bovay, Jr. Resource Room provides area childcare providers with access to a wide variety of educational materials, learning toys, and activity resources that can be checked out to enrich children’s learning experiences. From infant and toddler learning tools to preschool activities, outdoor play equipment, and gross motor resources, the Resource Room helps educators create engaging, hands-on environments without the expense of purchasing every item themselves.
Made possible through the generosity of the Harry E. Bovay Foundation, this resource reflects Mr. Bovay’s enduring commitment to education, community development, and creating opportunities that help children learn, grow, and thrive.
