The Pine Valley Central School District has partnered with Little Love Bugs Daycare Center to offer high-quality infant and toddler care to the community. Little Love Bugs is a fully NYS-licensed daycare program that employs caring staff who are CPR/First Aid certified. Our goal is to ensure the needs of the families throughout our community are met.

Children ages six weeks to 36 months are eligible to attend. The center is conveniently located at Pine Valley Elementary School, 7755 Rt. 83, South Dayton, NY 14138.
