How Minding Miracles Learning Center Brought Every Building Together with Assembly

At Minding Miracles Learning Center, every day begins with empathy. With three preschools and an Adult Center dedicated to inclusion and supporting children with Autism, the team lives by a simple mission: every person matters.

The same care that guided the classrooms inspired the team to look inward, to build even stronger bonds among staff across all locations.

Before Assembly, appreciation came through raffles, gift cards, and occasional messages from managers. Thoughtful, yes, but scattered. Each building celebrated differently, leaving some moments unnoticed and others forgotten. What the team longed for was a shared space where everyone could see, celebrate, and support one another.

The search for a better system began simply, with a Google search for best employee rewards and recognition platforms.

That's how Minding Miracles found Assembly.

From that moment, Assembly stood out for its warmth, inclusivity, and thoughtful design. It allowed every staff member, not just administrators, to recognize peers, celebrate milestones, and share stories that connected classrooms and centers.

Features like automated birthdays and anniversaries, forums for sharing ideas, and challenges that spark teamwork made Assembly an easy fit. It wasn't just software, it felt like a digital extension of the culture they were trying to build.

When Minding Miracles launched Assembly in September, participation was modest at first. But as the holidays approached, contests and classroom challenges began to light up the platform.

Teachers began cheering for one another, sharing classroom ideas, and helping peers replicate great activities from other centers. The recognition feed soon became a live stream of positivity, proof that kindness spreads when it's visible.

Automated birthday and anniversary reminders also lifted a burden off managers. Staff no longer had to track dates or coordinate celebrations, the system remembered, so no one felt forgotten.

Beyond the platform itself, what sets Assembly apart is the support behind it. From the very first Zoom call with the founder to quick responses from the customer success team, Minding Miracles felt like they were working with a partner, not a vendor.

This responsive partnership has made implementation smoother and problem-solving faster, allowing the team to focus on what matters most: the children and their staff.

The most transformative experience came during the "12 Days of Christmas Assembly Challenge."

The CEO designed a playful series of daily tasks, from cookie exchanges and toy drives to team-based classroom activities, with staff posting photo proof of their participation.

Each day ran on its own flow, opening at midnight, closing before the next began. Participants earned diamonds for each completed challenge, and those who finished all twelve earned bonus recognition.

The challenge sparked a company-wide wave of collaboration, creativity, and laughter.

Today, Assembly is woven into the daily rhythm of Minding Miracles Learning Center. What started as a desire for better recognition has grown into a vibrant culture of appreciation, one where everyone, from classroom aides to center directors, feels seen and celebrated.

The platform has become more than a tool - it's the digital heartbeat of a mission-driven organization.

For organizations like Minding Miracles, where compassion is the foundation and connection is the goal, Assembly has proven to be the perfect partner in building a culture that truly cares.
