Meet the Owner – Shawna Aust Hi, I’m Shawna! I’ve lived in Plumas Lake my entire life and am proud to serve the community I call home. I’m a mom to three boys and a proud fire wife—my husband serves with our local fire department. When I'm not at Kids Cove, you'll find me cheering on my boys in their many sports (I'm a full-time sports mom!) or volunteering my time helping our local schools raise money for events, programs, and field trips. Kids Cove is more than a childcare program-it's an extension of my heart and my commitment to supporting families in our community.

Mimi's PlayHouse and Preschool
Mimi's PlayHouse and Preschool is a warm, nurturing home daycare proudly serving Plumas Lake and the surrounding areas, for children ages 6 months to 8 years.
With over 22 years of hands-on childcare experience, I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel secure, valued, and excited to learn each day.
My program is built around a learn-through-play curriculum that encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Children are engaged in purposeful play-based activities that naturally support early learning in areas such as language development, social skills, early math concepts, and problem-solving.
Mimis PlayHouse also incorporates a variety of sensory-based activities that help strengthen fine motor skills, improve concentration, and encourage cooperation, sharing, and self-regulation. Learning happens organically through exploration, imagination, and hands-on experiences - making education both meaningful and fun.
At Mimi's PlayHouse, children are treated like family. I strive to create a true home-away-from-home atmosphere where each child receives individualized attention, encouragement, and care.
My goal is to support not only early academic growth, but also emotional development, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning in a setting filled with warmth, consistency, and joy.
