BENTONVILLE, Ark. — The new Walmart Home Office campus will soon debut a whopping 73,000-sq ft. on-site childcare center, the Bentonville-based company announced on Monday.
The Little Squiggles Children's Enrichment Center is set to open its doors on May 6 as the largest childcare center in Northwest Arkansas, according to the announcement.
Little Squiggles reportedly can accommodate over 500 children and infants through pre-K.
The childcare center will be operated by Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Inc., and is funded by the Walton Family. According to the Bright Horizons website, it is the largest provider of employer-sponsored child care in the U.S.
"Bright Horizons is known for their top-rated childcare services, and they offer resources to help families nurture their kids' growth, stay involved in their education, and juggle work and life responsibilities," a spokesperson for Walmart said.
Little Squiggles is said to include a "holistic curriculum focused on discovery-driven learning and purposeful play," bright and open classrooms, and "cost-competitive rates."
The center will also include STEM and Movement Matters programs "designed to spark imaginative, open-ended exploration."
