Picking the right child care and preschool can be a difficult and emotional process. Researching, visitations, and waitlists often lead to disappointment and frustration as you look for a place you can entrust with your child. We’re here to help!
Little Beginnings Learning Center is proud to foster an environment full of love, learning, exploration, and developmentally-appropriate experiences for families in Hastings and Cottage Grove, Woodbury, and the surrounding communities. Our facility allows your child to engage with nature while also being nurtured all year-round.
Childhood matters. From the moment they enter this world, a child begins developing into the adult they will become. We’re here to help nurture that process.
Rooted in Christian values and nature-based learning, Little Beginnings Learning Center understands that parents deserve more than a supervisor for their child. We are passionate about early childhood development, meaningful relationships, and hands-on learning. In a safe, nurturing environment, children are encouraged to explore who God created them to be while building confidence, curiosity, and lasting friendships.
While your child thrives, you can move through your day with confidence, knowing they are cared for, supported, and inspired every step of the way.
The Classrooms at Little Beginnings have been carefully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each room is set up with age-appropriate books, toys, and learning opportunities.

Little Beginnings Learning Center was started in 1999 by Jen and Wade Gelhar. Their goal was simple: to create a place where children could learn, grow, and truly experience what it means to be a child.
With her background in early childhood education, along with being a mother of two children, Jen had a deep understanding of what children needed and what was often lacking in existing options.
Over the last 27 years, Little Beginnings Learning Center has helped developed a generation of children that is kind, curious, respectful, and connected to the world around them.
