Little Wiggles Daycare was founded in 2009 by sisters Gladiris and Diana De Jesus, the eldest and youngest of three siblings, who grew up in a large, close-knit family. We saw an amazing opportunity to combine our passion for children with the joy of working together.

We began in a small location on 169th Street, and just two years later, we expanded to our current home on 170th Street — just a few blocks from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Over the past 16 years, we have proudly cared for and nurtured hundreds of children, becoming a trusted part of many local families’ lives. We look forward to continuing to share our love, care, and expertise with many more little ones.

We recognize that each child is unique, with their own learning style, personality, and talents. Our highly qualified staff, led by Diana, who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, is committed to creating a supportive environment where every child can grow socially, emotionally, and academically at their own pace.
