The Mustard Seed Preschool and Child Care Center

"A Great Place To Learn And Grow"

About Us

At The Mustard Seed, we have been nurturing young minds since our inception on January 3, 2005. Founded by Owner Nancy Wieglosz Koon, BS, MSW, we take immense pride in creating an environment that fosters learning and growth, making us a cherished institution in D’Iberville, MS.

With a commitment to excellence, we offer a comprehensive range of programs that cater to the holistic development of children. Our dedicated team understands the importance of early childhood education and strives to create a great place for children to learn and flourish.

At the heart of our approach lies our carefully curated preschool curriculum, which forms the backbone of our educational philosophy. We believe that every child's development journey is unique, and our curriculum is designed to address various aspects of their growth, including gross motor skills, language development, cognitive milestones, numeracy skills, and kindergarten preparedness. Our emphasis on learning through play ensures that education is an enjoyable and engaging experience for every child.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in our age-based programs, catering to children of different age groups – from one to four years old. We recognize the significance of tailored education and support for each developmental stage, and our programs are structured accordingly.

One of the cornerstones of our approach is our musical program. We understand the profound impact that music can have on a child's cognitive and emotional development, and our curriculum incorporates musical elements to enhance their overall learning experience.

In addition to our academic pursuits, we offer a Christian-based program that instills values and ethics in our young learners. This program is designed to foster a strong foundation in both education and character development.

Our physical location at 4247 Popp’s Ferry Rd in D’Iberville, MS, serves as a nurturing haven for our students. Through engaging classroom activities, we focus on nurturing social skills, fine motor skills, early literacy, arts and creativity, and cognitive development. Our aim is to prepare children for their future academic endeavors while ensuring they enjoy the journey of discovery.

To reach out to us, please don't hesitate to give us a call at (228) 392-7405. We are always excited to connect with parents and guardians who share our passion for quality early childhood education. At The Mustard Seed, we continue to sow the seeds of knowledge, growth, and happiness, ensuring that every child flourishes in their own unique way.

On 8/8/2025 DZT Photography had this to say:
Mustard Seed Learning Center has been such a blessing for my foster baby. The staff is incredibly sweet, vibrant, and genuinely caring. The facility is always spotless, bright, and inviting, and I love knowing my little one is in a safe and cheerful environment every day. Their top-level security gives me complete peace of mind, and the communication is excellent—especially with the easy-to-use app that keeps me updated. I also appreciate that they often provide food for my baby, which is such a thoughtful touch. On a personal note, I once had the pleasure of working with them as DZT Photography to take pictures for the center, and the experience was just as positive from a vendor’s perspective,professional, organized, and full of joy. I truly can’t recommend Mustard Seed Learning Center enough. They care deeply for the children and create an environment that feels like a second home.
