ABOUT US
Our Story
Little Cubs was founded by Karishma and Rohan Kittur in 2023. Our family
lived in Whitby, ON and relocated to the area in March 2020. We have loved living in Port Elgin – a
place we lovingly call our ‘safe haven’. We have grown to love the outdoors; hike the beautiful
trails we are cocooned in and enjoy the turquoise blue water that the Bruce Peninsula is famous
for. Through all this, our biggest struggles were finding high quality childcare and finding an
indoor play space for the girls. Before we knew it, Little Cubs started materializing and we are so
excited to bring this to our community
Our Mission
Providing the best to our charming community and bringing a smile on
everyone’s faces - one cub at a time.
Our Philosophy
Creating a culture of inclusiveness and belonging where we all belong.
Promoting a cheerful, positive, and affirmative environment where we all flourish. Endorsing a
space for children and parents to sit back and mingle where we all thrive. Little Cubs is a unique
space created by members of this community for our community.

OUR TEAM
CENTRE MANAGEMENT
Karishma Kittur
FOUNDER
I am a Registered Nurse by profession and most recently, worked with
Grey Bruce Public Health. I loved working as a Public Health Nurse and serving the residents
of Grey and Bruce County’s, but now I am ready to bring a new perspective as a RN to Little
Cubs. As a nurse, I have worked with the pediatric population up to geriatrics and always
found that I loved working with children the most. I am an advocate for things that I truly
believe in and for topics close to my heart. I am passionate about travel – seeing new
countries and learning their unique cultures. On my second mat leave, I started our travel
blog – lifewith2cubs (the Cubs has been a part of our life since 2019!) and most recently,
got certified as a travel agent in Feb 2023! I am excited to embark on this journey and bring
all my past experiences and hobbies to make Little Cubs a unique, inclusive, and loving space
for children and parents.
