Where Young Dreams Blossom and Thrive in Mill Valley
About Us - Mill Valley's Trusted Daycare
Welcome to Little Heaven Daycare, where nurturing care has been a cornerstone for two decades. My name is Aline Santiago, and for the past twenty years, I’ve had the privilege of providing loving care for the children entrusted to me — many from right here in Mill Valley. Supported by my amazing family, I’ve pursued my passion for childcare since 1995. At Little Heaven Daycare, we offer quality childcare in a warm and loving environment, catering to children aged six months to four years old. Honestly, there’s nothing quite like watching a little one from the Sycamore Park neighborhood take their first steps or say their first words in our care. We’re just a short drive from Mill Valley, serving families who want that home-away-from-home feel without sacrificing quality.

Little Steps, Big Leaps in Mill Valley
Our Toddler Journey program paves the way for toddlers as they explore sensory discovery and grasp the wonders around them — a bit like a morning hike up Mount Tam, but indoors! Tailored engagement ensures strong bonds and honors individual milestones. Our spaces brim with books chosen to spur language and speech development. Creative expression flourishes through finger painting, music, and pretend play, while structured activities strengthen their burgeoning motor skills. When they graduate from this program, they emerge with a Bright Beginning, ready to embrace the grand adventures ahead — whether that’s preschool near Mill Valley’s downtown or a playdate at Boyle Park.
