This is our specialized program for the youngest learners, focusing on relationship-driven care with a superior 1:2 adult/child ratio. Our nurturing caregivers establish trusting bonds and provide high-touch attention for infants taking their first steps.
Children engage in play-based, hands-on discovery to expand vocabulary and practice early self-help skills. This program focuses on peer socialization and self-awareness in a supportive environment with a low 1:4 ratio.
This program is all about learning together, focusing on cooperative play and simple problem-solving. We begin introducing early reading and math concepts while maintaining our supportive 1:5 adult/child ratio.
Designed for adventurers, this program uses nature-focused exploration to develop strong social skills and group cooperation. We help children refine their communication and early writing skills as they confidently prepare for pre-K.
We’d love to welcome you to MMO and show you what makes our program special! Tours are available Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and are personally led by our Co-Director, Danielle Hoover. She’ll walk you through our classrooms, share what makes the MMO approach unique, and answer any questions you may have. Our hours are flexible to meet your family’s needs—we can’t wait to meet you and show you the MMO way!

Our programs are built on active, hands-on activitires that spark curiosity and nurture growth. We fill their days with:
We are in our fifth year with MMO, between our two daughters, and we truly couldn’t be happier. The teachers and staff are warm, nurturing and genuinely invested in each child.
As a parent, it’s a gift to know your child is cared for when they’re not at home. Their activities are enriching and fun, and we’ve seen our daughters’ social skills and confidence grow through their time at MMO.
The entire team has also been incredibly accommodating of the realities of busy work schedules, which means the world to our family.
We feel so supported here and honestly couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

We started our 2-yr old twins at MMO part-time and quickly switched to full-time after realizing how great of a place it is! The staff is so patient and caring. The communication is top-notch and we love getting photos and updates through the day.
