  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. 💕

  Daycare is terrible.
  Edit: I am a family member who has related child went to this daycare I will not state my niece name due to privacy. My sister address the issue nothing was done, unprofessionalism and lack of urgency has been displayed unfortunately she will take her business somewhere else. Stay bless and improve your business so positive reviews can reflect improvements.

  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.

  My daughter has attended this daycare since she was 6 weeks old, she is now 2.5 & our family loves it. She is very advanced thanks to the help of her teacher, Miss Shawny. The director and teachers treat us like family, they keep us updated on her developmental progress and her daily progress with photos and notes.
  The teachers are very professional, patient and kind, i would highly recommend this daycare to anyone in the area who is looking for a safe and supportive environment for their child/ children to grow

  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

  I am so grateful for the caring staff at GMLC. My son has been going there since 2022 and I have never had an issue. All the teachers are wonderful and engages a lot with the kids. I have seen a tremendous improvement in my son’s learning over the years. The teachers are always open to communication and they have always kept me informed of anything my son is doing. The facility is always clean and well maintenance. Overall, I am very happy and stress free sending my child to GMLC. Mrs. Mia is awesome, couldn’t ask for a better daycare center!

  My son Kason has been coming here for going on 3 years, and I absolutely love it here. After having a negative experience with a previous daycare I was weary. However , they have been nothing short of amazing for my family and I. They keep open communication constantly with pictures and messages, as well as helping my son with any problems he may have. They even helped me extensively with potty training and has helped with his speech as well. They treat you like family and love your children as their own even through their hard days. My son will continue to go through 4k and I will bring any of my future children here as well. We love you and appreciate you Growing Minds. 🤍

  This daycare is a poor excuse for child care. Most of the reviews are former or current employees. My child went here for two years and it was a horrible train ride that never stopped. If there were open spots in other daycares I would have moved sooner but complacency kept us. This daycare is a revolving door of childcare, between the two years my child went here, he went through 8-12 teachers in one class room. They cannot keep staff nor train them properly. I one time had a staff member text me and tell me my child had a fever of 110 degrees. It was in fact, 100.1 degrees. They promise an array of services but only deliver on a couple of them. Teachers will smile in your face and tell you they love your child but to the director will tear down your child. The lack of communication and accountability is horrible. One time my child had an accident due to nap time and was sent home to me with only a T-shirt and a full pull up, no pants, and no socks. It was 60 degrees that day. I have plenty of evidence of negligence and lack of common sense. They also accused my child of being violent and having autism multiple times. My child was screened by multiple agencies and it was determined he is not autistic and the structure of the daycare needs to be changed. But when you mention this to the owner, she gets defensive. Criticism is not take well here. I have witnessed other children hitting people. And witnessed a child smacking the teacher in the face multiple times. And those children were not labeled as autistic or difficult. This daycare is a civil case waiting to happen.

  Kindness, Patience and Care are the three words I would use to describe the experience I've encountered since my girls have started attending Growing Minds Learning Center. The director and teachers really do treat you like family and go above and beyond when it's necessary. Definitely would recommend GMLC 100% to anyone who's in search of a daycare provider.

  Love this place! My daughter loves this place as well and has made friends and actually looks forward to going to school. The teachers are genuine and always have a smile. My daughter is learning and every day it seems she has something new to tell me that she learned. We have been through several daycares and this one by far has been the best experience. Growing minds is the perfect name for this center. Because they truly are growing minds.
