There are many child care options in San Diego; what are you looking for for your child? 

Socialization or individualized child care?

Structured learning or an open play emphasis?

Miriam’s program has elements of each of these childcare approaches. We offer all of the educational advantages of many formal preschools and similar institutions with the added advantage of having extremely low child-to-caregiver ratios, and numerous field trips a week.

Our home base, located in the village of La Jolla, is age-appropriate and includes fine motor / manipulative learning playsets, dramatic play, a play kitchen, wood playthings, a wooden outdoor playhouse, ride-along toys, a reading library, a train table and a variety of art supplies.

While at home base, children engage in both directed and self-directed activities in a child-sized environment.

While on one of the four field trips planned each week, the children enjoy learning outside.

Whether by observing dolphins jump at SeaWorld, or by taking part in a children’s event at La Jolla Riford Library, your child will not just learn of the big, bright world around him or her; he or she will learn in it.

In addition, Miriam's small family-like group gives children a sense of belonging and security which is highly prized by parents that realize the value of such emotional and social support.

Mimi,

Four years ago, we were looking for someone to take care of S. ... When we find you, we found so much more than what we were looking for.

What we found was a wonderful life for S.: a place -a home- where she was nurtured and loved; where she learned about fairness and good values; and where she was encouraged to grow into an articulate, creative, sensitive, social girl.

What S. found was good friends, a wonderful role model, and a second home that was loving, fun and warm. S. is leaving Mimi’s House with a strong sense of self and her world, friends she’ll never forget, and a deep love for you.

You are so special, Mimi, and so gifted. We are so thankful and grateful to you -for how you’ve helped S. grow and learn during her most important years, and for all you’ve given to us all. You are truly precious to us -always.

Love, R. & K., La Jolla
