  • The director is awful I’m not even sure if she likes kids. They charge for literally EVERYTHING. lunch is 7$ and on Fridays it’s pizza nd ice cream so you basically have to spend that if you dnt want your kid crying. Several times I came early to get my son and came in to him crying. In the beginning of the year (2nd week in) I was told he was a horrible kid all bc he needed adjustment to preschool. I also was told by the director herself she was a single mom just like me even tho she was married (not the same thing at all). At the end of the year they wouldn’t let my son graduate bc I owed them some money. Oh and the director would call me out in front of people asking when I. Would pay my bill. Overall unprofessional and not a good spot for children!! Don’t get me wrong there’s some staff there that actually care but most don’t and they just want to steal ur $. They also lied to our children about chicks there were never born! Avoid this place at all cost.

  • Heart and Mind truly offers something special for every child! From enrichment classes like cooking, gardening, dance, chorus, and piano lessons, to two playgrounds and a full gym—there are endless opportunities for children to learn, grow, and have fun. All of the children are excited to come in every day and are eager to learn. They have so much fun on a daily basis that some of them don’t even want to leave! I’ve been part of Heart and Mind for a little over a year now, and I can honestly say this place has made such a special impact on my heart.
