Today

Still Growing

Mimi's Montessori continues to grow, welcoming new families into a gentle, nurturing home-from-home.

Mimi's key question:
“What does every child need to thrive?”

A home that feels safe, a routine that feels steady, and space to explore, create and grow at their own pace. That's the foundation of everything at Mimi's Montessori.

Our approach

A Word From Mimi
To Every Family.

Fun, outgoing, and passionate about childcare, with a real love for the outdoors. Gentle, patient and trustworthy in everything I do — nurturing confident, independent learners is what I love most.
