Growing Bright Futures in the Heart of the U.P.
Nestled in the heart of Crystal Falls, Michigan, we offer more than just care — we provide a safe and loving space where your child can explore, learn, and shine at their own pace. With thoughtful routines, creative play, and warm-hearted guidance, every child here is seen, supported, and gently encouraged to grow. At Little Embers, we believe even the smallest ember holds the power to light the way.

Get to know me!
My name is Alaina, and I am a 25-year-old mom here in Crystal Falls, Michigan.
Helping take care of others has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I was the one who loved helping and looking after people, which eventually inspired me to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Over the years, that passion for caregiving has only grown—especially now as a proud mom to two wonderful children born in early 2024 and 2025.
Starting Little Embers Family Childcare allows me to stay home with my children while fulfilling a lifelong dream of running my own business. Caring for kids is something I truly enjoy every single day. My goal is to create a warm, family‑centered environment where children can learn, play, and thrive, while parents have peace of mind knowing their little ones are safe, loved, and encouraged.
From my little family to yours, hello!
Little Embers’ Daily Mission
We're not just a childcare — we're a little village where every spark is seen, soothed, and celebrated. Your child is welcomed with warm arms, calming routines, and gentle guidance that feels just like home (sometimes with extra cuddles and stories!).
I believe tiny hands hold big potential. Whether we're building towers, singing songs, or chasing bubbles, every activity is gently designed to spark curiosity, grow early skills, and light the way toward joyful learning — one giggle at a time.
Tummies grow just like minds! We serve up yummy, balanced meals and snacks with a dash of love and a sprinkle of fun. Think fruit smiles, warm lunches, and cheerful chats at the table — all following healthy CACFP guidelines.
At Little Embers, your child’s safety is our cozy campfire ring — it surrounds everything we do. From baby gates to soft landings, every corner is thoughtfully prepared so little feet can explore with confidence and big imaginations can run free (without bumps and bruises!).
