ABOUT
THE MOBILE MIMI
MISSION STATEMENT
"The Mobile MiMi, a non-profit organization, cultivates healthy minds and hearts in grade school students through expert, mobile, and interactive Social Emotional Learning, guided by CASEL-aligned standards that reflect empathy, resilience, and responsible decision-making."
WHAT IS CASEL?
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) A nonprofit organization whose mission is to make evidence-based SEL an integral part of education from preschool through high school.
WHAT IS SEL?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the deliberate process that enables children to learn and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for: cultivating positive self-perception; mastering emotional control; demonstrating responsible decision making and developing empathy and respect for self and others.
MY PERSONAL MISSION
The journey to founding The Mobile MiMi began not in a boardroom, but in my own home and community—first, as a grandmother to three dynamic granddaughters (ages 5, 8, and 12), and then, as a substitute teacher in our local elementary and middle schools.
My granddaughters struggle with emotional literacy, lacking not only the vocabulary to identify what they feel, but often the strategy to control or express those complex emotions constructively.
Across classrooms, I noticed a critical, recurring gap: a lack of foundational emotional intelligence. Children were struggling daily with conflict, self-regulation, and peer relationships, which often led to classroom disruptions and stunted academic readiness. This observation confirmed my conviction that these essential social and emotional skills must be taught and integrated with the same dedication and rigor we apply to core academics.
The Mobile MiMi was created to fill this exact void. We are a direct, mobile solution designed to equip every elementary student with the tools they need to understand themselves, navigate their feelings, and build a strong, resilient foundation for life.
Founder, The Mobile MiMi.
