Grandmother Aides

Little Years recognizes that all children may, from time to time, need extra love and attention like that given by grandmothers.  Accordingly, Little Years has instituted a program in which one or more qualified "grandmothers" visit classrooms for limited periods of time to administer an extra dose of TLC to those children who need it.  The grandmothers, who are paid employees, also relieve teachers for lunch, breaks, etc.  Grandmothers are subject to the same pre-employment background checks as are the other employees.
