  • Young minds developmental center? More like a gas leak center! Staff turn over is high, including directors. There’s no consistency. I was concerned for a family members safety while they were attending here for multiple reasons. The gas leaks… one day upon arrival it was discovered a door was propped open, and teachers were in the back. This could allow ANYONE to just walk in. What’s the point of locking the doors and keeping them locked all day, to just have the door propped open in the later afternoon. Attitudes from certain staff when asked questions was just awful.

  • I wouldn’t leave a gold fish here . There were some red flags when I first started my daughter here but nothing that was real major. But it was just back to back issues , they had no director for a few months due to both the main director and assistant director quitting within a month time span. Once they finally get a director she hardly ever there and there was no real introduction. The place was dysfunctional and as someone that worked in child care I could see that. Eventually a staff member confirmed this for me and even suggested I take my daughter out. Leaving cook staff in the classrooms because they seem to constantly lose staff and there was no real communication in regard to that. Back to back gas leaks , and my final straw was the current director with holding information in regard to a virus she was aware of a day before. Allowed parents to drop off children and 40 mins later telling us to come back to get them. The director didn’t seem to care and only concerned with the fact that this is a business and she has a life outside of here . Very unprofessional and very dysfunctional center no real consistency or communications. The teaching staff tried their best I feel but if management is a hot mess it doesn’t help

  • Young Minds has been a fantastic experience for our family. My kids love their teachers and their friends. It seems like every staff member knows every kid by name, even if they aren't in class together. My kids regularly come home with brand new skills - from counting to ten in Spanish to saying "Happy Mother's Day!" in sign language to putting their cup at the top of their plate so it doesn't spill. As parents we've had a wonderful relationship with the staff - they've helped us support our children's development in the ways that the children needed and given us context for what is normal (SO appreciated!). They're a Level 4 Path to Quality center, which I appreciate because it means they've sought out ways to improve and to continue that improvement by investing in the center and its staff.

  • We've been with Young Minds for a few months now, and all I can say is WOW! The second you walk in, you're greated with warm, friendly faces. Our son always is so eager to go and hardly ever wants to leave. The curriculum is on point. Every day he is learning something new. We love it!

  • We have been apart of YMDC family for about 3 years now! Absolutely love the care that they provide for my little one. When we first transitioned to YMDC the teachers along with Admin staff helped made the transition easy! When I first joined YMDC I was looking for childcare that provided a parent monitoring system, this is the best part (being able to keep up to date with your child) while you are working or attending school. It would be nice to continue afterschool care as well!

  • My three year old goes to daycare/preschool here!!! She is so excited to arrive every morning. The staff is warm and welcoming and truly supportive of our family. They have recently achieved level 4 on Pathways to Quality, and you can really tell based on the curriculum! Would recommend enthusiastically!
