About Us

A home away from home,
right here in Carbondale.

Hannah House Child Development has been a quiet cornerstone of early learning in Carbondale for years. We believe the best early education doesn't happen in a classroom — it happens in a home.

Our small-group setting allows us to truly know each child — their rhythms, their questions, the way they light up when they discover something new. Parents in our community trust us because we treat their children the way we'd want ours treated: with patience, warmth, and genuine care.

Programs

Programs for every
stage of early growth

0–18 months

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care for your youngest. Feeding, sleeping, and bonding rhythms are honored — not rushed. Every interaction is an opportunity for connection.

18 months–3 years

Toddler Program

Big feelings, big curiosity — our toddlers explore the world with wonder. Through guided play and creative expression, they build confidence and language skills.

3–5 years

Preschool

Preparing for kindergarten and beyond — not through drills, but through discovery. Math, literacy, and social skills grow naturally from hands-on learning.

Our Approach

Learning that feels like
coming home

We don't follow a rigid curriculum — we follow the child. Every day is shaped by their interests, their pace, and the relationships we've built together.

Relationships First

Every child is known deeply — their moods, their milestones, their quirks.
Play-Based Learning

Children learn best when they're engaged, curious, and having fun.
Family Partnership

We communicate openly and work alongside parents as true partners.
Safe & Nurturing

A clean, child-proofed environment where little ones feel secure to explore.

Warm, home-like environment at Hannah House Child Development
