Why MIYA?
Millington International Youth Academy (MIYA) was formed in December 2012, the most recent endeavor of Dream Interfaith Ministries, Inc, a local not-for-profit. MIYA's mission is to provide quality child care services. We provide a safe, nurturing environment. Our focus is on fostering your child's self confidence, socialization skills, awareness of the world around them and becoming a good citizen in the community.
Curriculum
MIYA uses a modified High Scope Curriculum. The curriculum is one that utilizes student-to-student interaction to foster learning. Each child will be allowed to learn at his or her own pace. Our Pre-K curriculum mimics the Shelby County Headstart Program. Our school year is September through May!
MIYA offers Spanish classes to children ages 3 years and up twice weekly. The Spanish curriculum includes basic terms, counting, songs and dance. We also operate a Summer Camp, June-July. The focus of the camp is- movement, discovery and fun! |
Staff
Our teaching staff has over 10 years each of early childhood experience. All have completed 60+ hours of State training and have a degree or are seeking a CDA.
Meals
Three meals are provided at no cost; breakfast, lunch and snack.
Rates
MIYA rates are very competitive! We offer family discounts, Military discounts, and other incentive programs
