Meet our team

Kimi Minor

Managing Owner

Ms. Kimi is excited to introduce Houston to Kids Garden! After a career in Human Resources, Kimi understands the stress and demands of a busy work and family schedule. She witnessed many working parents pause or forego their careers due to a lack of flexible childcare options, especially during the pandemic. As a new mother herself, Kimi recognized what she and other parents were missing – a modern drop-in concept, where children learn through creative arts and hands-on play. To Kimi, this meant no electronics, healthy food choices, and a safe, non-toxic environment. In our new work from home (or wherever!) environment, busy families need the flexibility and peace of mind that Kids Garden provides.

Kimi and her husband, Paul, both work in energy and have called Houston home since 2013. After Paul attended business school at Rice University, they moved into the Rice U area and determined what better place to plant their first Kids Garden than in the community they love.

Paul and Kimi welcomed their first child, Estelle, in May 2021.

Ashli Riggs

Director

Ms. Ashli is so excited to help plant the first Kids Garden seeds in the great state of Texas! Originally from San Antonio, Ashli moved to Houston after graduating from Abilene Christian University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She worked as a kindergarten, first grade and Reading Recovery teacher for 7 years in the greater Houston area public school system. During those years in the classroom, she fell in love with early childhood literacy and teaching first graders how to read and write. Ashli eventually became a Reading Recovery Teacher and absolutely loved watching her students develop a passion not only for reading, but also becoming life-long learners! After 7 years in the classroom, Ashli took a break to raise her own 2 children, which has been the most rewarding job she’s ever had. Now that both of her children are in school full-time, she’s excited to be a part of the Kid’s Garden team and can’t wait to help children learn, grow, and play in a natural and creative way!

Q&A with Ms. Thuy

What inspires you to care for young children?

It’s so amazing to watch kids flourish! At this age, they’re learning and changing so quickly, and it’s thrilling to figure out what each individual needs. It’s different every time. What works for one child may not be helpful to another, and that’s what keeps every day so engaging. Seeing the kids develop, both socially and emotionally, is always exciting. There are so many small moments like that: when two friends meet for the first time or when a child draws something they’re really proud of, for example. Those moments make this job so special. Taking care of children has been a lifelong passion; over the years, I’ve had the joy of mentoring so many wonderful kids and watching them grow into incredible, unique adults. It’s so heartening to think that I had a small part in their journey.

What’s a typical day like at your daycare?

At this daycare, we will be speaking mostly in Vietnamese. This will be particularly beneficial for children who have recently immigrated to the United States, or who speak Vietnamese at home with their families. (It would also be great for kids who are really interested in learning Vietnamese; immersion is such an effective teaching method when it comes to language!) This shared language will hopefully make their transition into daycare a little bit easier. My goal is to make the kids in my program feel as comfortable as possible, so they can thrive in a safe and understanding community and prepare the skills they’ll need for kindergarten. Our days will be full of fun activities, like arts and crafts and free play. We’re right next door to the local park, which means we spend a lot of time outside, too! The kids love visiting the playground because it’s additional space for them to run around—and it makes them feel like they’re at the heart of their neighborhood.

What’s one thing parents should know about your program?

Caregiving is most successful when it’s a communal effort! The children (and their parents and guardians) will feel like they’re part of a family. Back in Vietnam, I was everyone’s favorite go-to babysitter; I’ve helped raise over 20 family members over the years, including my own two children. Parents should feel more than welcome coming to me for advice. We’ll work as partners in this exciting process of guiding the next generation. Parents might also be happy to know that my daughter, Vy, is also working at this program as a part-time assistant. This extra help means that the kids in this program will receive twice the attention and support!

Rates & Openings

Daycare rates depend on how old your child will be and what your schedule looks like. 5 days / week might get a slight discount, and infant rates are usually more than toddlers’. Finding a spot also depends on age and schedule because each daycare has a limited number of openings for each age range.

Let’s find a really good daycare for you

Get your own recommendations based on your preferences, daily routine, and what matters most to you.

Your family is unique to you, but some of your questions might not be. 😉 Here’s what most parents want to know when starting out.

What is NeighborSchools?

Hey there, nice to meet you 👋 We’re a new-ish startup that helps new-ish parents find daycare.

We know how hard finding good child care can be – especially for first-time parents. But really good care is what gives you the peace of mind to go back to work and feel confident that your child is getting the stimulation, socialization, and support they need to learn and grow.

So we created NeighborSchools to make this piece of parenthood a whole lot easier. We say “easier” because, let’s be honest, it’s still a big thing to figure out, but working together we can help you find some good options, understand the whole process, and choose a program you’ll feel really good about.

How’s it work?

Most first-time parents don’t know exactly what they’re looking for, so we created a simple survey that will ask you questions about your lifestyle, your daily routines, and your preferences for child care. We’ll then share 3 personalized recommendations that we think might be a good fit. We’ll also give you a timeline that maps out when we would suggest you start touring programs, choose a daycare, and pay a deposit to secure a spot. Your timeline is based on when you want to start care – so you set the pace, and you decide when you’ve found the right match.

Is there a cost?

Nope. Our daycare recommendation service is free for parents. The other half of our business is helping these small-scale daycares with software and services that handle all their administrative tasks, like online contracting, payment processing, and licensing requirements. Before NeighborSchools, services like these were only designed for large corporate child care centers, and part of our mission is to level the playing field for small, independent child care programs. That’s why we picked the name NeighborSchools – we’re all about making child care more personal, more human, and more equitable for the incredible individuals who do this work and care for our children.

How do I know if I’m ready to take the survey?

Generally, if you’re here, you’re ready. The survey lets us give you 3 recommendations to consider, but it’ll also help you better understand what factors to consider, and what questions to be asking right now. It’s simple things like where you live, your child’s date of birth, when you want to start care, and if you have any preferences around program philosophy or language of instruction. If you’re planning 6+ months ahead, it’s a great way to get started, and if you’re hoping to start daycare in the next 2-4 months, it’s definitely time to get started. Click here to start the survey.

How do I know if a daycare has openings?

Each program has a limited number of spots for each age range, so we need to know your schedule and child’s age before we can share availability. The survey covers these basics, as well as factors like drop-off and pick-up times to make sure that recommended programs fit your daily routine. Once we know your child’s age and schedule we can share rates and costs as well.

More questions? Text or email – we’re here to help.

We’re online Monday – Friday from 8am to 6pm Eastern.
