Aleah's Home

Our Teachers

With 16 years of experience as a mother to my incredible daughter who has an intellectual disability, I bring a deeply personal understanding of the unique challenges and triumphs children and families face. My journey has given me valuable expertise in navigating IEPs (individualized education programs), championing tailored learning plans that support each child’s individual needs. I am passionate about teaching advocacy—not only for my own child but for every child in my care—because I believe it’s vital for children to be in spaces that feel like a home away from home.

My approach is committed to creating a nurturing community where children are supported, encouraged, and empowered to thrive. I’m dedicated to helping children grow and develop the essential skills they need to succeed while fostering an environment where they feel seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are.

Philosophy

At Aleah’s Home, we focus on meeting each child’s unique needs to help them learn and grow at their own pace. If a child benefits from extra support, we use individualized plans, like IEPs (Individualized Education Programs), to ensure they get the help they need to thrive. These plans are used only when necessary and are tailored to support your child’s development. We aim to create a warm, supportive environment where every child feels encouraged and empowered to succeed.

Location

Aleah’s Home is run out of my home. We have a huge fenced-in backyard that will allow kids the room to run around and explore. We are close to many St. Louis attractions in Forest Park and all major highways.

About our program

Aleah’s Home is more than just a daycare—it’s a place filled with love, care, and a commitment to every child’s growth. Named after my daughter, Aleah, who has an intellectual disability, this program is inspired by her journey and the importance of meeting each child where they are.

At Aleah’s Home, we create a nurturing environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Our approach focuses on helping each child develop their unique strengths, ensuring they are surrounded by care, understanding, and opportunities to thrive.
