Mi Childcare
Mi Childcare is a licensed, locally-owned preschool program with childcare hours serving ages 18 mo to 5 yrs.
Offering full and part-time care, Mi Childcare blends early childhood education with a movement-based approach to learning — recognizing the deep connection between physical activity and brain development.
Activities built around coordination, balance, and spatial awareness support literacy, problem-solving, and school readiness.
A unique partnership with GR Gymnastics gives children guided gymnastics and free play experiences each week. Social and emotional growth are equally prioritized, with children developing communication, sharing, and coping skills through guided play. Families stay connected through daily reports and direct staff communication creating a true partnership.
At Mi Childcare, movement isn't a break from learning — it's how learning happens.
