A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:

My name is Jessica Ierardi and I am the Owner and Director of Little People’s Child Care Center, Inc.

Here is a little background information about me! I lived, danced, and went to school within the Patchogue-Medford Community as a child and I became a part of the Little People's family in 2011 when I began working there as a TA while attending St. Joseph’s College.

I became a full-time LPC teacher after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in 2015 and went on to become a co-owner in 2018 when Mrs. Mary, the previous owner, retired. I ran the school with her daughter, Mrs. Laura, until December 2023 when I became the sole owner and Director.

I will continue to operate this school with the same level of professionalism and will provide the same quality of care that this community has come to expect from Little People’s Center over the years. My mission is, and always has been, to create the safest and most loving environment for your children to spend their pre-school years. I have entrusted my own children to my staff’s care, and use that as my standard as it is the highest standard I have, and it is far above and beyond NY State’s regulations for child care. As the program director, I will be available to you at any reasonable time of day should you need me and for anything I can help with. I hope that you feel comfortable choosing Little People’s to become a part of your “village”.

Sincerely,

Jessica Ierardi (Gabriellini)
