About the Program
Play, connect, and grow — together
MiniMu is a welcoming, play-based space where infants and toddlers explore at their own pace while caregivers build community and connect with one another.Each session starts with a short circle time led by a caregiver volunteer — story time, songs, rhymes, and parachute play — then opens into free exploration. KiDiMu's first floor is dedicated to MiniMu during each session, giving your little one a relaxed, unhurried space designed just for them.

MiniMu was the first place I felt like I found my village after moving to the island. My son loved every second, and I left with new friends every single time.
