Teaching skills that will last a lifetime!

Founded in 1976 and celebrating 50 years of excellence, MHG brings decades of experience to early childhood education through our Academic Preschool, established in 2011. Our program is thoughtfully designed to deliver a high-quality, academically enriched foundation in a safe, nurturing environment—reflecting the same standards that have defined our organization for half a century. Mini-Hops’ Academic Preschool provides an educational experience through play and social interaction for students 33 months – 5 years old.  Children must be born between June 1, 2021, and Dec. 1, 2023 and must be independent in the bathroom to start the 2026-27 school year.

School Year 2026-27 Enrollment is OPEN

Teaching Skills that Last a Lifetime!

  • Mini-Hops’ Academic Preschool combines early academics with hands-on learning to help children develop critical thinking, creativity, and confidence. Our structured curriculum provides a balanced approach to learning and play-based discovery.   At Mini-Hops we focus on development of the whole child: social, emotional, cognitive, large and fine motor.
  • Mini-Hops Academic Preschool has the added benefit of our incredible gym space, where young learners grow and learn through movement. Daily time in our large gym supports brain development through gross motor movement. It also builds strong muscles, balance and coordination.
