Mimi’s Learning Center offers young children the opportunity to learn and develop in a happy, secure, creative and stimulating environment.
Mimi’s is committed to offering quality care and a loving environment to each child. We understand the emotional needs and demands of all children, as well as the needs and expectations of parents. We strongly believe in providing positive input to children. Children love to learn and at Mimi’s Learning Center we have numerous activities, toys and interaction moments to develop a child’s love of learning. We have developmentally appropriate activities beginning with infants all the way through to our VPK classroom to help the children learn self confidence and self-esteem. Even when our children are engaged in “play,” we are providing teachable moments. We offer activities to enhance the social, emotional, physical and mental development. Mimi’s Learning Center is all about giving the children the very best that they deserve.
The first five years of childhood are the most important in a child’s development and learning. We respect parents as the primary and most important provider. We believe parents and teachers are partners when it comes to your child’s care. Our teachers are sensitive to each child’s needs and rate of development. They will offer care with the utmost kindness, love and respect. We believe all children are precious gifts and we treat them as they are our own.
Philosophy:
Our beliefs about early childhood education are based upon the knowledge that children’s growth is developmental. It seems clear to us that a high quality early childhood program must provide a safe and nurturing environment which promotes a broad spectrum of support for the child’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
We believe that a developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children is appropriately tailored to the specifics of each age group. Different ages have different needs, interest, and developmental task; our curriculum reflect these variations.
Mimi’s Learning Center also teaches discipline and respect for oneself, other children and adults. We expect our staff to be positive examples in the lives of all our children.
