Meet the heart of Mila-Ma
To our children, she’s simply Baba.
From a family of educators, Mila leads our small daycare in Morgan Hill’s Holiday Lake Estates alongside Michelle and Stephanie. Her days bring together thoughtful learning, homemade food, and personal care.
Wooden learning materials and spaces at a child’s height invite children to practice, try, and discover what they can do.
“What happens if?”
Art, science, cooking, and gardening give children room to ask questions and explore their ideas.
“Let’s do it together.”
English is our primary language, with Spanish conversation, songs, and selected activities led by fluent Spanish speakers Michelle and Stephanie. Everyday moments invite children to listen, connect, and care for one another.

From Baba’s kitchen
Made from scratch. Remembered with love.
The children call Mila “Baba.” Her cooking is part of what makes this place feel like home. She prepares five meals each day from scratch with organic ingredients: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner.
Every birthday has a little extra love. Mila personally bakes each child a birthday cake, with a celebration and gifts to make their day feel special.
Three child sized toilets and a sink at children’s height make familiar routines more comfortable and accessible.
A place to make and imagine.
A large indoor playroom with Montessori inspired wooden toys, plus a welcoming kitchen for cooking activities and shared meals.
A little closer to nature.
A playground with swings and slides, a courtyard and garden, and an outdoor activity patio with additional protective netting.
