Growing Minds Learning Center

I’m so happy my grand baby is able to come to this learning center. Everyone that works here makes me feel so comfortable with her growth and development. Since attending, I’ve noticed she’s more confident and she’s learning and growing so quickly. All the staff show the importance of learning each child and I’m so very thankful for that. They also do a great job of sending pictures and updates of what’s going on with your child throughout the day. Overjoyed with my grandchild coming to learn here.

I can't say enough good things about this daycare. They truly care about the children and their education. They have exceeded my expectations on the care for my baby. Every teacher, every member of this facility is wonderful. I am so happy to have found such a great place for my sweet baby to go. I of course have got to shout out that the infant teacher Ms d, goes above and beyond for her infant class. I couldn't ask for a better child care facility.

My ONLY regret with Growing minds has been that we didn’t enroll our daughter sooner. She spent the first half of her 4k year in at well known, expensive chain daycare. Even while working at home with her on different lessons to keep her up to speed with her age group, we noticed a decline and she started having behavioral issues. We came to find out that the staff were also lying about what was going on at the program. I Called Dr. Mia, as I knew others that had their children there or had in the past and got her enrolled that same day! I can’t even begin to describe how much better it was for our daughter at Growing Minds in the first WEEK she was there compared to where she had been. We had finally found somewhere that people actually cared about the children there and their emotional well-being as well as their lessons.Within a few weeks we were seeing such an improvement in her lessons! The first week her teacher had even given us materials for at home that she made in a notebook for our daughter BY HAND!!! There has not been ONE day that I was unaware of what was going on, what she had learned and what activities she had been involved in. Every morning, I dropped her off between 7:30-7:50ish and have always been greeted by the staff with smiles and “Goodmorning!” We came to find out through daily communication with her teachers as well as Dr. Mia, that our daughter was struggling with larger groups and big emotions when interacting with other children at school at times. These are things we as parents sometimes miss bc they’re in a different environment than at home. If you’re not told, you simply don’t know. They always communicated well about what was going on with her, as well as resources to find a solution. Another thing that didn’t take long to notice was that our daughter wasn’t NEARLY as sick as often as she had been at her previous school. Kids are gonna be kids and have some questionable habits, but cleanliness was NEVER and issue we had while she attended, and it showed from the major drop in illnesses she was having. To Dr. Mia Gentry, and the staff of Growing minds, we want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. This was such an amazing experience in the journey of our daughter’s growth experience. Raising children is rewarding, but can be challenging at times. You all have made it so much less so by being the professionals that you are. I only wish we had been there from the beginning of 4K. 💕

My 2 grand daughters attend Growing Minds. They started at ages 1 and 3. They are now 3 and 5. The youngest was potty trained quickly and to the surprise of my husband the oldest could read at 4. They both speak clearly and they can hold complete conversations with adults. With both parents working long hours, it is difficult to have the quality time to study with them so Growing Minds has been a blessing in this aspect. The oldest will be starting Kindergarten this year and I believe Growing Minds has fully prepared her for this next level of her education.

Hello, I want to say a few words about this best kindergarten and the best teachers. Let me start by saying that we came from Ukraine two years ago, we don’t understand English at all. We don’t have many friends here, and my son was very attached to me. That’s why I was very worried about how he would go to kindergarten. We chose this kindergarten because it is a few minutes drive from us. I was very worried about how it would be, the teachers don’t understand my child, he doesn’t understand them, and besides, he’s not used to being with someone without me. My worries disappeared literally in a few days, I can see how the child liked it, but I’m not saying that it was easy, especially for the teachers, because my son is very active, noisy, he’s not used to a large number of children, and his behavior attracted attention, and especially when the son can’t explain what he wants, because he doesn’t know English, it was even worse. But these wonderful teachers found an approach to him, not knowing the language, taught him to count in English, also letters, he is already starting to say words in English. I am very grateful to the teacher Ilyushka and the director of this kindergarten for their love and help. Also the kindergarten goes on excursions, and they opened up wonderful places for us that I didn't know were here, and we were at the Christmas show for the first time, it was something .., I really liked these people. Also in the kindergarten there is a wonderful program where we see during the day when the children have lunch, when they fell asleep, also photos of what the children were doing today. I recommend it to everyone, it will be hard to say goodbye to you when we go to school
