Child learning and playing at Ruby's Playhouse

More than daycare — a place where children thrive.

Ruby's Playhouse Daycare was founded on the belief that early learning should feel like play. Located in the heart of Aurora, our home-based program offers an intimate, low-ratio environment where children are free to explore, create, and grow at their own pace.

We combine structured learning activities with unstructured play, ensuring each child develops socially, emotionally, and cognitively in a supportive setting that mirrors the warmth of home.
