Miami University Child Development Center

Welcome to Mini University, where we prioritize the safety, educational excellence, and family involvement of every child who walks through our doors. Our commitment to these core values sets us apart from other childcare and daycare centers.

At Mini University, we believe that safety is the foundation upon which all learning is built. That's why all of our centers are locked at all times, and our friendly enrollment coordinators buzz family members in after verifying their identity. We conduct name-to-face attendance, ensuring that all children are accounted for at all times. Our highly educated, stable teachers create an environment where children feel loved, safe, and cared for, fostering an atmosphere of trust and empathy.

Educational excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about educating young children, and we hold ourselves to the highest standard. All five of our centers are nationally accredited through NAEYC, and all centers have received a 5-Star Rating through Ohio's Step Up to Quality. Research shows that children learn best through play, and we design our lesson plans to gently guide this play and make it a meaningful experience for your child. At Mini U, we aim for the stars, and this dedication to educational excellence sets us apart.

Family involvement is a cornerstone of our approach. When you bring your child to one of our centers, we want you to feel like you're bringing them to be with family. We view families as partners and will partner with you to bring your child success. Our teachers create a welcoming environment that fosters feelings of love, safety, trust, empathy, and genuine concern. We are a family at Mini U, and we want you and your child to be a part of it, too.
