Founded in 1908, Milestones Early Learning Center & Preschool has a history of providing affordable, high quality early care and education for generations of children, and is committed to the same for your child. The Center provides a warm, nurturing environment that will enhance the development of your child.

Milestones is a not-for-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of members of the Bloomington-Normal community. In January of 2008, we celebrated 100 years of service and introduced the name of Milestones Early Learning Center & Preschool. We were located at 1210 W. Mulberry Street in Bloomington until 1912, and then relocated to 1320 W. Mulberry Street, where we remained until 1968.
Services
Our program's curriculum is based on the premise that children learn about the world around them through play - active involvement with other children, adults, and materials. Children need years of experience with real objects and events before they are ready to understand the meaning of symbols such as letters and numbers.
Milestones recognizes that the first three years of a child's life are an extraordinary time to set the stage for the future. From birth, babies are spectacular learners, immediately investigating the sights, sounds, and sensations of the world around them. Infants and toddlers need an environment that is safe and rich with opportunities to explore and enjoy: to see, hear, feel, touch, and move.
At Milestones Early Learning Center & Preschool we recognize how important new beginnings are in each child's development and to their families. We call these transitions. We make a great effort to make these smooth for everyone. Starting a new program can be difficult for a child. The Center believes that gradual enrollment is best for the child, parent, and teacher.

Great Sales Pitch, Zero Follow Through. We were promised teachers in each classroom doing a lesson plan and learning. We were promised great communication via their mobile app. What we received was a parade of part time staff that couldn’t communicate to each other non the less us. Their tablet was too busy playing YouTube for the kids to be of any use for updating throughout the day.
Issues we had in our 81-day stent:
1. Other Peoples clothes our daughter, Our daughter’s clothes on other people.
2. Injury not communicated until pickup. Unable to locate the incident report for a whole day

Milestones has been a great option for our family - every interaction there
has been easy and friendly. My children have been enjoying their time there and the teachers have been very responsive. Becky was great to work with while transitioning my kids back into the daycare environment. Would highly recommend this daycare facility!

My 6 yr old & 9 mo old both go to Milestones and they are always taken care of by the staff like they are their own children. It's very affordable for high quality childcare. I also like the "KidsReport" app to be able to see what my little one is doing throughout each day.
