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 Connection to Island Families

Build meaningful relationships with other families through our social gatherings for both parents and children. Enjoy weekly and monthly opportunities to connect, plus memorable family events like our beloved Circus—a cherished Mercer Island tradition since 1966.

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.
