Rooted in Faith. Built on Love. Designed for Families.

The Midwest Playhouse is a Christian childcare organization that transforms residential homes into fully licensed early learning classrooms—owned, operated, and staffed by us. Our mission is to bring high-quality, faith-based care into local neighborhoods through small-group, home-based environments that feel like family—but run with the structure and excellence of a professional center.

​

Our Mission

To provide exceptional Christian childcare by creating and operating licensed in-home classrooms where children receive personalized attention, loving guidance, and a strong foundation for life.

​

What We Do

We own and manage every Playhouse location, ensuring consistency, safety, and quality across all classrooms. We recruit, hire, and train a dedicated team of educators and staff for each home, maintaining high standards in care and curriculum.

Each classroom serves:

• Up to 10 children

• A team of 2 to 3 licensed, caring teachers employed by The Midwest Playhouse

• A daily rhythm grounded in Christian values, learning, and play

​

Why Home-Based?

Children thrive in small, nurturing environments. By converting residential homes into licensed early learning classrooms, we create spaces that are warm, calm, and built for belonging—without compromising on structure or professionalism.

These environments allow us to:

• Provide individualized attention and strong relationships

• Support working families with local, trusted care

• Foster emotional, spiritual, and cognitive growth through Christ-centered teaching

​

Our Values

• Christ-Centered Care: Jesus is at the heart of everything we do—from how we treat children to how we lead our team.

• Safety and Excellence: All homes are fully licensed, and our teachers are trained professionals who share our commitment to excellence.

• Consistency for Families: We manage all operations, so families can count on stability, quality, and clear communication.

• Empowered Educators: Our teachers are employees—not independent providers—and we support them with professional development, mentorship, and administrative relief.

​

Our Vision

We are building a movement of Playhouses across the Midwest—each one a beacon of love, faith, and early learning. By owning and operating each location, we ensure that every child receives the same high level of care, no matter the neighborhood.
