As its own way of gratifying all those who have contributed to its success, the Little Me Learning Center paved a way for its grandest foundation anniversary celebration ever.

Enchanted, a splendid Disney Prince and Princess-themed search for Mr. and Ms. Little Me 2008, highlighted Little Me’s 3rd Foundation Anniversary Celebration.
