Take A Peek Inside Our Classrooms
A Name Woven with Love, Teachers Who Feel Like Family
Our owner, Tilla, named Lylabugs and Buttons Childcare Center after her grandchildren but created it for every child who walks through our doors. We fill these walls with laughter, hold tiny hands with care, build close relationships with families, and celebrate every little milestone with big smiles. With decades of experience, we welcome you and your child like family—because you are.
Fewer Kids, More Connection Backed by Quality You Can Trust
As a Great Start to Quality award recipient, we go above and beyond state standards. We keep our classroom ratios low so teachers can slow down, listen closely, and meet each child right where they are. With space to explore, stories to spark wonder, and play that teaches through joy, your child grows in every way—supported, seen, and surrounded by love that lasts.
Hands-On Discovery Promotes Bigger & Brighter Beginnings
Our facility features hands-on learning centers in every classroom, a cozy library, and a computer lab that tickles curiosity. With indoor play structures, projection games, sign language for all ages, and dedicated gross motor spaces, every inch encourages growth through movement, language, play, and wonder. The children also explore gardens and outdoor play structures that bring nature, movement, and imagination into everyday life.
Your child can attend our nurturing, high-quality preschool program at no cost from September to May!

Nurturing, Play-Based Curricula Build Well-Rounded Skills
We use FunShine Express® for infants and toddlers and The Creative Curriculum® for preschoolers—both designed to spark curiosity and build strong social, emotional, and academic skills. Through play, stories, and hands-on exploration, children grow into confident learners ready for the next step and the world beyond.
Healthy Meals Made with Care Included Every Day
We provide all-inclusive, home-style meals prepared on-site and customized for each child’s needs, including allergies and sensitivities. As part of the Mid Michigan Childcare Food Program (CACFP), you can trust your child is eating nutritious, balanced meals without the stress of packing lunches or guessing what they’re eating.
Safe, Clean & Connected So You Can Breathe Easy
We protect what matters most with restricted access, internal-use security cameras, fenced yards, and CPR-trained staff. Our team sanitizes daily, with monthly professional deep cleaning and disinfecting foggers. You also stay in the loop with the HiMama® app because your peace of mind is part of our care, too.
