Miramonte Day School

Welcome to Our School

Miramonte Day School is a Nationally Accredited Center and participates in Quality First, Arizona’s Quality Improvement and Rating program. MDS joined our family in June 2016. Located near Reid Park Zoo, Miramonte offers exceptional care for infants through school-age children. We provide bus transportation for school-age children to and from Borton, Drachman, Griffin, Lineweaver, Roberts Naylor, and Robison Elementary School. You can see the list of schools we service here.

At Miramonte, we employ a contemporary Child Development philosophy of education. Our programs are designed to encourage physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth in young children. This educational approach fosters independence, responsibility, self-discipline, and cognitive development at each child’s own pace, emphasizing the uniqueness of each child. Parents are involved through observation and daily parent/teacher/child interaction.

What People Say About Us

5 stars

 5/5

As a parent it is important to ensure the safety and welfare of your child. When walking into this facility I immediately felt welcomed. All my questions were answered, I was able to view references as well as the facility policy. I love the structured schedules for the children and the creative activities provided. The staff is well trained and very patient with the children. I especially loved how some of the teacher were actually down on the floor playing with the children, and the interactions really indicated how much the kids liked the staff and vice versa. The facility itself was much cleaner than the last 2 I looked at and didn’t reek of urine!! I am a sneaky person and kind of set up some of the staff but they blew me away with answers to questions and statements. I went back 2 more times to make sure I was making the right choice and when my child ran up to one of the staff and hugged them , I knew this was it, my child does NOT do that !! Not even with family. Children seem to sense the good in others. After speaking to staff and the Director I feel confident that I made the right choice!! Thank you Miramonte day School for providing a safe and happy environment for my child… I truly am impressed!

My 16 month old daughter absolutely loves this place!!! Every time we go she gets really excited. I'm grateful for their support in raising my child. They have helped her reach her mile stones and now that she's walking they are helping with her potty training! I couldn't ask for a better daycare. I totally believe that it takes a community to raise a child and Miramonte Day School is an amazing community.

I am very satisfied with the child care they provide for my son Leo. He is loved and care for and i am so grateful to them for taking such great care of my leo.

so far so good my 4 year old son loves it there, he has his moments but they are very patient with him, and that's what I needed

Wonderful teachers, wonderful facility, I would recommend them to anyone.

Caprice Hyde

Center Director

Meet Our Director

My Name is Caprice Hyde. I have been with Small Miracles for over 6 Years and have two beautiful children of my own. I absolutely love working in early childhood education for me it’s a special calling that I knew I had from a very young age. This profession requires dedication, devotion, and a loving commitment. Each day I strive to create a safe, positive, and fun atmosphere for the families and staff. Building a foundation of moral development and integrity in this school is emphasized. Imagination and laughter are key to success in this Preschool. It’s such a joy to see all the little faces come to school each morning with curiosity and an eagerness to learn. As a Director, I am committed to creating a fun, safe, and inclusive learning environment for all students and teachers. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed and that as educators, it’s our job to help them reach their full potential. My goal as a director is to inspire and empower teachers to continue their training in professional development a good teacher can instill values, inspire hope, ignite children’s love and imagination. When I am not at school, I enjoy supporting my kids going to the park, going camping, paddleboarding, mudding, cooking, gardening, move nights, and anything that involves spending time with my family.

All Meals Are Provided

We are proud to be part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). We provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack times throughout the day and meals are included in tuition to make sure every child has access to them. We believe that providing nutritious meals helps children have more energy for learning and gives them the fuel they need to succeed in life.

Programs

We want children as early as possible to appreciate the importance of reaching out beyond themselves and into the community. Small Miracles schools offer a range of programs for children 6 weeks to 12 years.

Infant Program

At Small Miracles, we know that a baby's growth and development depends on individualized care and experiences. That is why we make it our focus to meet the needs of each infant. To do so, we provide our staff of caregiver educators with the tools they need to develop strong connections and trust with each baby they interact with. This trust allows the little ones to feel secure and confident enough to take part in play as well as early childhood learning activities. We are committed to providing this supportive environment, ensuring that your baby gets the best start possible.

Toddler Program

We understand that the transition to toddlerhood can be a tumultuous one. Every child is unique and has their own needs and wants that must be respected during this challenging time. With our experienced teachers, we strive to craft an environment where children can explore, learn, and make progress with self-reliance. As with all of our classrooms, we attempt to control the environment, not the little people in it. When our teachers fill the classroom with wonder and awe, children focus on reading, dancing, singing, painting, playing and so much more!

Preschool Program

This is another step on the journey of life. While want to prepare children to be successful in school, we know they will be if we take great advantage of the time we have together. Instead of pushing developmentally inappropriate lessons and activities on our children, our teachers work to plan for each child’s needs - whether they are learning to hold a pencil, write their name, learn conflict resolution skills and so much more. We know that children who experience child centered environments perform better in elementary school and in life. This confidence pushed us to offer the very best.

Before & After-School Program

A great way to keep your kids active and learning outside of school hours. Parents can take advantage of our before & after-school program and give their kids an engaging experience outside of the classroom. From exploring the creative arts, to playing spirited sports, to getting that much-needed homework help, there's something for everyone. Plus, we provide the convenience of transportation to and from schools, so parents don't have to worry about a hectic schedule. Transportation is provided to and from local schools and our classrooms are open all day on school holidays.
