Your Information Hub

MIPA is your go-to resource for what you need today and for planning ahead. We provide strong connections to Mercer Island PTAs and comprehensive information about local preschools, schools, resources, and engaging activities for children. Our Preschool & Activities Fair is a one-stop shop for learning about opportunities for your child, and we keep you updated with legislative information.

Your Family Advocate

We're a dedicated group of parents committed to advocating for children's resources with the city, school district, and other island organizations. MIPA has been a strong supporter of parks and playgrounds throughout the island, ensuring our community remains family-friendly.

Participation in MIPA activities is open to everyone. Membership is optional and offers the opportunity to directly support the organization's ongoing efforts to serve families with young children.
