Who We Are | Welcome to Our Village

They say it takes a village—at Developing Mindful Lives (DML), we embody that truth.

We believe in the power of early intervention to create lasting change. Our mission is to support children (ages 0-5) experiencing developmental delays by providing high-quality, family-centered services. Through meaningful connections, mindful observations, and purposeful care, we help families nurture their child’s development during these critical early years.

Using a coach-based, play-based approach, we equip parents and caregivers with the tools and strategies to support their child’s growth. Every moment of play becomes an opportunity for learning, and every interaction fosters resilience and possibility. Early intervention is not just about addressing delays—it’s about unlocking potential.

Our Mindful Community

At DML, early intervention isn’t just a service—it’s a movement toward lifelong change, rooted in a community of support, knowledge, and care. We believe no family should navigate this journey alone. That’s why we work hand in hand with caregivers, providing guidance, encouragement, and the resources needed to help their child thrive.

We invite you to become part of our village—where professionals, families, and communities come together to create a foundation for lifelong success. Because every child deserves the chance to reach their fullest potential, and every family deserves a strong, supportive network.

Our Approach

🌱 Meaningful Connections – Building trusting relationships so every child and family feels secure, supported, and valued. 👀 Mindful Observations – Seeing and understanding each child’s unique learning style, temperament, and developmental journey. 💡 Intentional Growth – Giving families the tools and support to create nurturing environments where their children can thrive.
