About Us

A Home Away From Home, Built on Trust

Jo Jo's Play Place isn't a facility — it's a real home in the heart of Momence where children are free to explore, ask questions, and grow at their own pace. We keep groups intentionally small so every child gets the attention they deserve.

Whether your little one is preparing for school, learning to socialize, or just needs a safe place after school, we meet them where they are — with patience, creativity, and genuine care.

What We Offer

Care That Fits Your Family's Life

From full-day care to after-school support, we provide flexible options designed to work around your schedule — not the other way around.

Full-Day Care

A structured yet flexible full-day program that keeps your child engaged, learning, and happy from drop-off to pick-up.

After-School Care

Homework help, creative play, and snacks — a smooth transition from school to a relaxed, supervised afternoon.

Preschool Prep

Building the social, emotional, and cognitive skills your child needs before they step into a classroom for the first time.

Why Families Choose Us

Small Enough to Know Your Child,
Big Enough to Inspire Them

Large daycares run on schedules and numbers. We run on relationships. Here's what makes Jo Jo's Play Place different:

Low Child-to-Caregiver Ratio

Every child gets individual attention. We don't manage crowds — we nurture individuals.

Real Home, Not a Facility

No fluorescent lights or institutional noise. Just a warm, child-proofed home where kids feel safe.

Learning Through Play

Age-appropriate activities that build literacy, numeracy, and social skills — disguised as fun.

Open Communication

Daily updates, photos, and conversations about your child's day — because you're always in the loop.

"We looked at three daycares before finding Jo Jo's. The difference was night and day — our daughter runs to the door every morning."
