CORE VALUES:
LOVE - Love is respect, trust, compassion, kindness, validation, guidance, patience and connection. Not just with others, but with ourselves. We are love..
CURIOSITY - A curious mind leads to lifelong learning and a deeper connection to ourselves, others, and the present world around us. Long to understand what you do not know. Ask questions, be interested, never stop learning. Approach everyday with curiosity!
GROWTH - A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there. Appreciate the journey. Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy! Discover who you are meant to be.
COMMUNITY - Creating a community is creating a beautiful and safe space by blending families together to expand our capacity for love. We are family: our teachers, our kids, our parents, all of us. And family is everything. When we have each other, we have everything.
DIVERSITY - Our strengths lie within our differences. Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice, and belonging is having that voice be heard. We hold space for people to be their complete and authentic selves. Y'all means all!
These kids learn not only from what we say and do, but from who we are. So let us BE love, BE curious, BE in a growth mindset, BE a community, BE our authentic selves, and be all that we can for these little ones.

TESTIMONIALS
“Working at Mama Melli’s has been wonderful. Melissa is endlessly kind and attentive to the kiddos, and she extends that patience to her employees as we learn her methods of guiding children. The farm is a dream as well - forests to explore, goats and horses to feed, and wide open sky to look up at. I have learned an enormous amount since I started working here - from how to encourage children to resolve conflict with one another to how to encourage their curiosity about the world - and I’m so grateful to Melissa and Mama Melli’s for that knowledge! Would absolutely recommend.” ~ Lily V.
“Working at Mama Mellis doesn't feel like I'm at "work," I'm just at my second home, with my second set of kids and my second family. Melissa has an incredible approach at resolving these tiny kid conflicts with love, kindness and respect and it has been truly amazing to learn. The farm and overall space is such an amazing place to care for kids- from the never-ending places to adventure to, the goats and pony to say hi to, the cozy porch to eat our lunches on, the large wondrous yard.. it's all so magical!” ~ Dae K.
