Our History


In July 1975, Sherry Tacker purchased Chatterbox Child Care Center at 3721 Locust Street. She renamed it Small World Learning Center and worked to make the center State Licensed. The Center offered a structured program of learning activities for children 2 ½ - 12 years of age. For fifteen years, Small World Learning Center operated at that location. 

In the early morning hours of November 20, 1990, an electrical fire destroyed the building on Locust Street. The next day, the Center reopened in the Sunday School Classrooms at Trinity Lutheran Church. The area was remodeled to meet all state licensing requirements by 1992. Small World Learning Center remains in Trinity and is now licensed to care for sixty children between the ages of 2 and 12.

Since 1975, Small World Learning Center has striven to provide an educational and enjoyable learning environment for children. For over 35 years, Sherry Tacker has dedicated herself to the caring of young children.
