Head of the School

Hi I am Wendy Murphy, owner of Little Angel Daycare & Preschool. I started working at Little Angel’s in 2001 the same year it opened. I took over ownership in 2017. We are a family-owned and operated child care facility and one of the longest-running centers here in Helena. 
I am a proud mom of 2 children, Kasidie and Teagyn. I love to travel, garden, & cook meals for my family. My husband and I love to pack up our camper and head to the motocross tracks around the state to watch our son race motocross and chase his dreams.
