Nurturing & Protecting Today's Young Minds for Tomorrow's Future.Young Minds Preschool provides a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for 2 through 8 years of age. We are dedicated to teaching children values such as respect of self and others, honesty, forgiveness, and an appreciation for learning in order to foster character development and a positive self-esteem, and to enhance their overall social, emotional, and cognitive development.We view each child as a unique and special person with his or her own pattern and timing of growth. As caregivers we are devoted to providing a wealth of opportunities for discoveries, stimulating experiences, problem solving, and accomplishments. Our philosophy is based on the belief that all areas of a child's development (social, emotional, physical, and cognitive) are integrated. We believe that optimal development in all areas is derived from a positive, supportive, and individualized relationship with adults. Our curriculum encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and learning materials, and to pursue their own interests as unique individuals in their community and in their world.

Overall

Very Unprofessional!!! They forcibly excused my son after being there only three full days. They took no action to correct issues. They refused to properly devise a plan to address issues and when prompted to come with a plan I was asked to leave. The owner indicated such issues would not be tolerated because she could not afford the time needed to appropriately address the issues and she felt such issues cost her future business. Her disciplinary actions used berated and exasperated my son making him feel rejected and shamed, and intensified his angry. We appropriately consulted some early childhood development specialists after this and they indicated: three full days was not adequate time for my son to adjust since he had never been in school before, refusing to appropriately devise a professional plan or seeking advice from early childhood development coaches provided no opportunity to develop solutions which made it impossible to correct the issues leaving the child and parents frustrated, using improper discipline techniques designed to shame the child instead of using proper techniques that are commonly known to properly trained early childhood professionals, and not appropriately coordinating with the parents indicates inflexibility of the owner, and unprofessionalism rooted in improper training and lack of interpersonal skills needed to address issues. So bottom line this school is more interested in making money and any child that does not conform will be eliminated, instead of professionally focusing appropriately on educating and developing children that have diverse personalities and issues. Beware such unprofessionalism could seriously harm or impede your child’s development.
