About Little Tykes Learning Center

Located in Havelock, NC, Little Tykes Learning Center has been a trusted choice for quality childcare and early education due to our 10 years of childcare experience.

Formerly known as Hour Little Hangout, our mission has always been to ensure every child feels secure, supported, and loved. At our center, we encourage children to learn and grow at their own pace, nurturing all areas of development—including social and emotional skills—through engaging, hands-on activities that make learning fun and inspiring.
