About Mimi’s Little Academy

 Mimi’s Little Academy is a nature-based, child-led program inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, where children are viewed as capable learners and active participants in their world. Guided by the CT Pyramid Model, we support social-emotional development, curiosity, and joyful learning while building strong partnerships with families and the New Britain community. 

Our educators serve as guides and collaborators, carefully observing children’s interests and designing meaningful learning experiences. Led by Ms. Solmary, a certified head teacher and New Britain native with over 15 years of experience, our team provides positive guidance, culturally responsive care, and bilingual support in a warm, inclusive environment.

 We envision Mimi’s Little Academy as a trusted part of the New Britain community. Working alongside families to help build their village of care and support. Through strong relationships, community connection, and high-quality early learning, we aim to nurture confident children and strengthen the families and neighborhoods they grow within.
