Welcome to Little Squiggles Children's Enrichment Center

If you are interested in enrolling your child(ren), you will need to submit all family information and pay the $75 registration fee per child through the Bright Horizons Family Information Center. Families will be contacted by a Bright Horizons representative to discuss enrollment or waitlist status.

Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (4th of July), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Presidents Day

Walmart campus-based associates that are assigned to the Home Office campus in Bentonville, AR are eligible for enrollment.

The center will serve children ages 6 weeks through 5 years.

The center consists of 2 buildings that can serve an estimated 500 children when at full capacity. 

We are not able to provide part-time care.

Families will be required to provide notice of intent to withdraw 30 days in advance of the last day of attendance.

If you are no longer employed as a Home Office campus-based associate, your last day of employment is the last day you can utilize the center.

Associates who are displaced can utilize the center through the last day of the childcare benefit.

Morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack will be provided each day and are included in the tuition.

In addition to the tuition, you will be required to pay the following:

• Registration Fee: A non-refundable registration fee of $75 per child is due at the time of registration.
• Enrollment Deposit: An enrollment deposit equal to one month’s tuition will be due when the enrollment offer is accepted. The enrollment deposit will be applied to the first month of tuition. If a family chooses not to enroll their child after accepting the enrollment offer, the enrollment deposit will be forfeited.
• Annual Re-Registration Fee: A $50 fee per child will be required each year to cover annual administrative and licensing fees.

Sibling discounts will not be offered.

The center will not offer vacation credits.

Bright Horizons will hold a space for up to two months. After the second month, you must enroll your child, or the space will be offered to another family on the waitlist.

Tuition will be billed and collected monthly.

Tuition is paid through ACH and is due on 25th day of the prior month. Example: September monthly tuition will be due on August 25

The length of time will vary depending on the size of the waitlist and the ages of the children. Bright Horizons will send periodic communications to keep you informed of your status on the waitlist and will do everything they can to ensure you are offered a space as soon as it becomes available. Families may decline an offer (start date) and maintain their current position on the waitlist. There are several factors that could contribute to a delayed start date, i.e. a family may need to provide their departure notice to current care provider, may be moving, or waiting for the baby to arrive. After the second decline, their name will be moved to the bottom of the waitlist.

Our research-based World at Their Fingertips® curriculum meets children where they are developmentally, with Signature Practices that build confidence and excitement about learning at every age and stage. In every classroom, the goal is to help children do more than learn; it’s to cultivate the joy of learning. And our emergent approach — teaching skills by leveraging a child’s own interests — enables teachers to tailor activities and projects for the specific talents and needs of each child in the class.

Bright Horizons offers many resources to support families’ efforts to nurture children’s development, be actively involved in their education, and balance work/life demands. See www.brighthorizons.com/family-resources for more details on these tools.

Bright Horizons will follow the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) recommendations for staff-to-student ratios at the facility and also plans to pursue NAEYC accreditation for the center. NAEYC has developed standards to define and recognize quality childcare programs. In order to be accredited, a childcare program must meet a variety of strict criteria, including having a well-trained faculty, good staff-child ratios, and group sizes and a comprehensive curriculum, as well as meet stringent health and safety standards. The program must also provide meaningful opportunities for family involvement.

Yes! Bright Horizons strives to and has successfully accommodated a wide range of special needs and individual differences in our group programs.  We believe in inclusive programs that attempt to meet the needs of a wide range of children which focus on each child’s strengths. We support a collaborative team approach – the teacher, director, specialists, and parents. The team will work closely together to try to maximize each child’s opportunities for learning, growth, and development, and to attempt to eliminate any barriers or safety issues which a group program may present.

Bright Horizons® offers World Enrichments — enhanced learning opportunities that are often provided in dedicated spaces and designed to promote experiences above and beyond the classroom. These enriching activities are included in your tuition and include Art, Movement Matters (yoga, dance, climbing, etc), STEAM, Gardening, and more.
