MMiCurious minds for
a changing world.
English-led early learning that helps children question, create, connect and care. Short online moments lead to discoveries in the real world.
Ready for a future
we can’t predict.
Children growing up today may live into 2100. We cannot know every tool they will use. We can help them ask good questions, listen to others, try an idea and change their minds when they discover something new.
Our curriculum complements existing preschool or home learning. It makes space for English, your home language and your child’s own interests. It is a programme of early-learning experiences, with no accredited school qualification claimed.
The outline below describes our first planned 12-week pilot. Timing, teaching arrangements and availability are confirmed before enrolment.
A little question can go a long way.

“What do you notice?” “What could we try?” “What changed?” Children can answer with words, gestures, drawings, movement or something they make.

Growing the whole child.
Language and stories
Conversation, sound play, books and meaningful marks.
Number and inquiry
Patterns, comparison, predictions and playful problem solving.
Body and world
Movement, independence, nature and everyday care.
People and imagination
Feelings, friendships, art, music and different ways to see.
Use the screen.
Keep the wonder.
Technology is part of life. We help children use it with a purpose: connect with someone, hear a story or share an idea. Then we close the device and go and try.
- Ask a grown-up before sharing or taking a photo.
- Notice how your body feels, and ask for a break.
- A picture can be pretend. We can check together.
- No required child accounts, open chat or independent browsing.
Live sessions are optional. Camera-off participation, simple activity cards and teacher-created recaps offer other ways to join. Families consider MMi alongside their child’s other screen time, sleep, play and relationships.
Progress you can see
in everyday moments.
We look for a new question, a different approach, a moment of kindness or growing confidence. Children can show understanding in any language and in many ways.
The pilot includes brief updates every four weeks and parent conversations around weeks six and twelve. No rankings, attendance streaks or pressure to perform on camera. Photos and portfolio uploads are optional.
Discuss your child’s learningThe same wonder.
Shared with neighbours.
Our proposed local playgroups would use the same weekly themes, with 10–12 children and their parents exploring English through stories, songs, making and movement. Small activity stations let families follow each child’s curiosity.
For “Our caring community”, families might create kindness signs and practise asking to share. For “Shapes that help”, parents and children could build and test a home from large boxes. These optional groups are at the interest-gathering stage.
