“A Learning Safari for Growing Minds.”
🦁 About Us:
Welcome to Lois Playhouse Family Childcare
At Lois Playhouse Family Childcare, we believe every child deserves a place where learning feels like an adventure and every day brings new discoveries. Founded with a deep-rooted passion for early childhood education, our mission is to create a safe, nurturing, and imaginative environment where children can explore, learn, and grow.
Our Safari theme inspires everything we do — from playful exploration to hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity and creativity. Children become little “explorers,” guided by caring educators who help them navigate the world through play, discovery, and joyful learning.
With a play-based curriculum, nutritious meals, and individualized attention, we nurture young minds and hearts, helping each child build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.
Our Philosophy
Every Day Is a New Adventure on the Learning Safari
At Lois Playhouse Family Childcare, we believe that every child is an explorer—curious, creative, and eager to discover the world around them. Founded with a deep passion for early childhood education, our philosophy centers on creating a safe, nurturing environment where learning feels like a joyful adventure.
Just like a safari filled with wonder and discovery, each day at Lois Playhouse invites children to explore new ideas, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences. Our play-based approach encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and confidence—helping each child uncover their unique strengths and talents.
We are dedicated to guiding children as they journey through these early years, fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime. At Lois Playhouse, we don’t just prepare children for school—we inspire them to reach for the stars and embrace every new discovery with excitement and joy.

🐾 Meet Our Director: Guiding the Safari of Learning
At the heart of Lois Playhouse Family Childcare is Deloris, a dedicated early childhood educator with over 15 years of experience nurturing and teaching young children. Her journey in early education has taken her through many meaningful roles — from family childcare provider to infant/toddler teacher and Head Start preschool educator.
Deloris holds an Associate of Arts Degree in Child Development, which provides her with a strong foundation to support the growth and development of young learners. Her approach combines professional expertise with genuine warmth, creating an environment where children feel valued, supported, and inspired every day.
Guided by the safari spirit of exploration and discovery, Deloris believes that every child is an adventurer — curious, capable, and full of potential. She’s passionate about creating learning experiences that encourage creativity, independence, and confidence while fostering strong connections with families.
At Lois Playhouse, Deloris leads with heart, purpose, and a deep belief that learning is a lifelong adventure. Under her guidance, our playhouse is more than just childcare — it’s a place where children grow, families feel supported, and the whole community thrives together
