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.

Delaney Tot Spot is an in-home childcare program serving children ages 1-5 years old. I currently have a certificate as an assistant early childhood teacher. I am working to attain a degree in early childhood education.I have been in the field for a about three years now. I have been working along side my mother, who has owned an in-home daycare for 3+ years as well. My mother will now be my substitute when I have class. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. However, our program currently accepts 2-5 year old children. Delaney Tot Spot provides children with fun but educational activities. This program is play-based, which means that we will teach children through play. The children are not just left to play alone all day. We will educate them while they are engaged in play. We will set up open-ended activities/experiences each day. Each activity will be geared towards your child's individual needs and interests. Delaney Tot Spot will provide nutritious meals and snacks for all children. The children will have plenty of outdoor play time in our backyard play set. We will incorporate fun and educational field trips as well!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Minooka, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Minooka, IL. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Minooka, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Minooka, IL, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Minooka, IL.

When looking for a preschool near you in Minooka, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
