MLH Early Education received the Gold ExceleRate of Illinois as of March 2025. Kera Lewis- Rodriguez, philosophy of teaching focuses on the cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development of each child. With the creative use of basic American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish, Creative Curriculum, Ages &amp; Stages assessment tool, and manipulatives (i.e. Lego bricks, puzzles, foam letters, numbers, and shapes, etc.), the children retain information for basic learning and use what is taught to progress into elementary school. The children are given opportunities to work together and solve problems, and are encouraged to try new things, establishing a sense of teamwork and building self-confidence as they develop their social skills and physical development.

Jennifer J. says "My children love MLH! My youngest is enrolled in the pre-k program with Ms. Kera and already knows his alphabet, some sight words, colors, numbers, some...

Hello parents! As a parent of 3, I, myself understand the importance of germs, and how sickness can affect your busy day to day lives which is why I pride in caring for a total of 6 kids per day only. It helps reduce germs and with two teachers, we provide more one on one care which allows us to make sure certain things like hand washing and reminding our little friends not to put toys and hands in their mouth, is a big reason kiddos in our care are rarely spreading sicknesses and germs to their little friends keeping them less at home and more at their second home, our daycare. Keeping our circle small not only keeps us less exposed to germs and sickness, it also allows both us, the teachers and our little friends to be more laidback and enjoying our environment instead of stressing daily due to being overcrowded and engaging in a loud and stressful environment that comes with regular home daycares with 10+ kids under the care of one person. My home daycare also provides options for part time as well as full time care. Both part time and full time are full days. Part time is up to three days per week. Full time is full five days. At this time we do not offer drop in care or half days as our days are structured and are set up to follow our daily routine. One of the many things we pride ourselves in is offering preschool curriculums. Yes, we are not just having fun by playing all day long. We also have fun learning! Each kiddo is registered monthly in our preschool curriculum plan and learn a whole bunch with their little friends. Both full time and part time rates include ORGANIC HOMEMADE MEALS (Breakfast, snacks, lunch, and second set of snacks.) Lastly, we encourage ALL TEACHERS to reach out as we offer teacher discount. We work with teacher's schedules meaning, summer breaks, winter breaks and spring breaks can be waved! Thank you for taking the time and reading about our small daycare preschool. Please reach out with any additional questions and pricing/hours of operation information. Hope to hear from you soon! Nene 814-737-2088

Hello Dear Parents, My name is Ana. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I decided to put my experience to use and open a home daycare with preschool teaching included. If kiddos get to spend all day in my care, why not invest a couple of hours to teach them something valuable? We have 5 kids total, one teacher (myself) and one full time assistant. We follow the same routine on a daily basis so kiddos know what to expect next. Our routine looks like this: 8-830am - drop off 830-9am - breakfast 9-1045am - learning time. Basic preschool activities: colors, shapes, numbers, letters, days of the week, arts and crafts, playdoh, painting and coloring. 1045 am - read story and eat snacks. 11am-12pm - free play 12-1230pm - lunch 1230-230pm - quiet/nap time 230-430pm - snacks, free play, packing for the day/ time for pick up. PART TIME PRICING: Up to 3 days/week - $250 FULL TIME PRICING: 4/5 days/week - $350 These prices are per child. Both part time and full time include homemade organic meals and organic snacks. Its a very laid back and relaxing environment which is what we aim for by keeping it a small group of kids only. Less kiddos also means less exposure to sicknesses where a larger group day cares come with. If you think your little one/s would enjoy to learn, play and socialize with a few friends, please reach out to schedule a meet and tour! Hours of operation: 730am - 5pm

I have been working with children for over 28 years and I work with my daycare partner who has been working with children for 6 years and we both have education in this field. We are two very experienced daycare teachers who are running an in-home daycare that is curriculum based. Every day we will be doing a circle time with the children along with writing skills, hands on art activities, social-emotional development, learning through play in an enriched learning environment. Our goal is to meet each child's needs on each learning level; cognitive, gross and fine motor, language, social and emotional. We include two meals and a snack. We work from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. We are experienced with all ages from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. We are in the Minooka School District area, for those of you who have children who go to Minooka Schools. We are CPR certified teachers. We believe in allowing children to learn at their own pace in a non-competitive environment. We believe in treating each child as our own with loving and nurturing care. Please feel free to contact us at any time. Rates for care can be discussed/negotiated.
