New daycare taking shape

Workers on Tuesday construct the steel shell of what eventually will be the new home of Little Flower Learning Center, a daycare facility at the corner of Summit and Touvelle streets in Celina. Owner Amy Fleurette said the building should be complete by Easter. The business first began operating from one home, then expanded to five homes before moving to Celina First Church of God, she said. It is temporarily located at The Galleria in Celina, until it can be moved into the new building. The daycare accepts infants 6 weeks old through children up to 12 years old. Business hours are 5 a.m.-midnight Mondays through Fridays.
