Meet Durga Dhikonda
Hi! I’m Durga Dhikonda, The proud owner and caregiver at Little learners Daycare LLC. Caring for children has always been my passion. I started babysitting during my college years and instantly knew that working with children was what I wanted to do. That love for nurturing and supporting young minds led me to gain over four years of experience working in daycare centers before opening my own licensed family daycare. Today, I’m in my fourth successful year running Little Learners Daycare LLC, and it’s been a wonderful journey filled with learning, laughter, and growth. As a mother of two, I understand firsthand how important it is for children to be in a safe, loving, and stimulating environment. That’s exactly what I strive to provide every day—an environment where children feel at home, are encouraged to explore, and are guided with care. I hold a degree along with completed childcare and early learning courses approved by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF). I actively participate in professional development through the Early Achievers program to ensure I continue offering the best care and education to every child who joins our daycare family.

We’re super happy with the little learners daycare! My kid absolutely loves going every day and always comes home with a big smile. Durga is so kind, patient, and genuinely caring — she creates such a warm and homely environment for the kids. We feel completely at ease knowing our child is in such good hands. We’re so satisfied with the experience that we’ve decided to send our second kid there too. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Parent of Avyaan
My child has been attending Durga’s daycare even before turning two, and she continues to go there. She is an exceptional teacher who offers personal attention to every child, making sure they feel loved, supported, and valued. Not only is my daughter learning, but she also genuinely enjoys every moment she spends there. We feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to have found her. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering dedication truly make her the best in Snoqualmie. She has a remarkable gift for nurturing young minds, and we couldn’t be happier with the positive impact she’s had on our child’s growth and development. Thank you for helping shape our daughter into a kind and confident individual.

Parent of Akarsha
My son’s experience at Little Learners has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, it was clear this is a place where children are nurtured, loved, and truly cared for. Durga is incredibly warm, professional, and attentive, going above and beyond to create a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment. The facility is spotless, well-organized, and equipped with everything a child needs to learn, grow, and play. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between structured learning and free play, and it’s clear she is passionate about fostering each child’s unique talents and curiosity. My son comes home every day excited about what he has learned and eager to share stories about his friends. The progress we’ve seen in his social skills, communication, and confidence is remarkable. It’s such a relief to know our child is not only cared for but genuinely thriving. Little Learners has exceeded all our expectations, and we’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful community. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
