  • We have been at Little Minds since 2021- the precarious pandemic period- so we've seen and heard (and grown) a lot over the years! My 5-year-old started in the infant room. He still seeks Ms. Luz for comfort and reassurance. Ms. Luz sets the bar high for other centers' infant rooms. We commented about how she calmed him and she genuinely replied, "it's because I love him!" Ms. Luz loves all the babies providing them a nurturing early learning environment. This is evident even as the kids age into the "big kids" side of the building. We love that our older child comes home and insists on singing a prayer song before meals- he credits Ms. Crystal and Ms. Leah. We love the intention. Both of these ladies invested so much into the 3/4s class last year and shaped our son's behavior before moving to Pre-k. Ms. Leah wrote home to my husband and me that she had seen huge strides in the classroom! I thought it was also special that Ms. Crystal sought community helpers and connected parents with the classroom through summer camp. My older child cites Ms. Ann as having been one of the most influential at LM1A. Ms. Ann knows how to connect with him and turned one of his bad days around by dressing him up as Thing 1 during Dr. Seuss week. He gleefully shared his Tour around Little Minds once he got home- I thought he had a good day all day the way he shared his story! For parents, it's crucial that we know our kids are loved and cared for as much as possible in our absence. There is no bigger tell for this than observing my 18 month old's hugs: Ms.Ann, Ms. Susanna, Ms. Annie, Ms. Generra, Ms. Luz, Ms.Gigi, Ms. Karla, Ms. Connie (pre-k lead teacher), Ms. Susie and Ms. Deborah and Ms. Merilyn (who have the older kids but always love on him). I know I am forgetting names, so please include them! We've built many more memories and experienced more growth and development than can be shared in a few sentences, or a single paragraph. Given our longevity with LM1A, we have noted opportunities, but Ms. Ann has been receptive and addressed our concerns. (Please note, we had a short-term experience with another center and it was an absolute nightmare- I cannot stress enough that you get what you pay for). This center has suited our needs for two working parents and often exceeded expectations with thoughtful and intentional curriculum. We will be moving soon for personal needs, but we are so thankful to the educators and caregivers who supported our family these past 5 years.

  • The infant teachers are great, but they have poor management. Especially their assistant director. She is unprofessional and the owner allows her to do as she pleases. Find somewhere where they treat you and your child with respect.

  • My daughter has been going to Little Minds for almost a year and a half and our experience has been wonderful. From the 3’s class to pre-k, we’ve adored all of her teachers, as well as Ms. Ann, the director 🥰 I would recommend Little Minds to anyone looking for a school for their littles

  • Before you take your child to Little Minds please read all of the reviews and also do a surprise visit before leaving your baby because this place from I know is not the place that you want to leave your baby. Most of the teachers seems to be lovable and act like they love their jobs but actually most of them don’t even like the job or the children. They are just there for a paycheck. My two year would cry every time I pulled up to that daycare. My baby would be so hungry and thirsty when he got home from that daycare . It was to much going on there. I decided to take my baby out of that daycare because it just didn’t meet my expectations.

  • Placing your child at this daycare would honestly be doing both them and yourself a disservice. The caregivers seem to exist solely to occupy space, not to actively care for the children. Basic responsibilities like making sure kids eat or assisting with potty training are apparently optional. My 3-year-old niece received zero help with potty training here, and to make matters worse, was recently left dangling by one arm by a caregiver. When I say they “watch” the children, I’m using that term very loosely. There have been far too many incidents to count, which speaks volumes on its own. To top it off, the children are constantly sick—likely because toys and shared surfaces don’t seem to be wiped down. As a result, the illness cycle extends to parents and caregivers at home as well. Please do yourself a favor and seriously consider other childcare options before entrusting your child to this facility.

  • HORRIBLE Daycare…. Little Minds 1st Academy, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD AT THIS DAYCARE. Mrs. Ann Harris is the owner and director, she let her caregiver in the 3 year old class abuse my autistic granddaughter. Ann Harris said nothing is wrong with the video but she refused to give it to me or the police. She lives in a mansion and all about the money. You can get better childcare at other places in the area. Picked my granddaughter up by ONE arm and dragged her to the back of the classroom. PLEASE BEWARE, this place is not safe.
