Update!
❤️ A New Adventure for Our Littlest Kats!
We are so excited to begin a new adventure in serving our community, families, and our youngest learners! Little Kats Childcare Center is being created with a simple but important purpose: to provide children with a loving, safe, engaging, and developmentally supportive place to learn, play, grow, and belong.
From our youngest learners, beginning as early as 2 weeks old, through our school-age children, we are excited to build a childcare program that feels like an extension of our Kats and Bulldogs family. Through research-based practices, intentional play-based learning, developmental activities, and meaningful community-building experiences, we want every child to have the opportunity to grow with confidence and joy.
✂️ Please join us for our Ribbon Cutting!
📅 September 21, 2026
⏰ 6:00 P.M.
We want our entire community to come see the space, meet the people who will care for our children, and experience the loving learning environment we are creating. Your support and excitement mean so much as we begin this journey together!
🐾 Enrollment Is Open!
Care begins October 1, 2026, and we encourage families to register their children now. Spots are also available for after-school care for families who need a safe, engaging place for their school-age children after the school day.
📋 Complete the enrollment/interest form, and we will contact you, or call the office to request enrollment forms.

🐾✂️ You’re Invited! Join Us for the Little Kats Childcare Ribbon Cutting! We’re excited to celebrate the official opening of Little Kats Childcare in Chase, operated by the Chase/Raymond School District! This opening is a BIG deal for the Chase community. Chase has been a childcare desert, with no childcare currently available in the community. Little Kats will help fill that critical gap by providing up to 24 childcare slots for local families. This new small center was made possible through Child Care Zones funding, support from the Patterson Family Foundation, and community partnerships that came together to make childcare in Chase a reality. Now it’s time to celebrate! 🎉 📅 Monday, September 21, 2026 🕕 6:00 PM 📍 Little Kats Childcare 312 Ash St., Chase, KS We invite families, community members, local businesses, partners, and anyone who believes in investing in the future of our communities to come celebrate this exciting milestone with us! Come help us cut the ribbon and officially welcome Little Kats Childcare to Chase! 🐾❤️🖤
