The MMSS Family

We understand the fact that children are the future and every single one truly deserves the best possible start in life. This is why we strongly believe that an unwavering focus on our children today serves as the “stepping stones to a brighter future”, ensuring that tomorrow shines with endless possibilities.

In February of 2013, MMSS Childcare was founded by a dynamic couple Harprit Dhillon and Manbir Srao with a vision to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children ages 0-5 years old. Over the past decade, with the help of our carefully selected teaching staff, an enriching curriculum, and a well-designed learning environment, we have empowered hundreds of children to build a solid foundation for lifelong success. 

Join our vibrant family,  where little steps become grand adventures, and watch your child thrive, discover, and soar to unimaginable heights. Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities.
