We absolutely loved our time at Developing Minds Academy! My son attended for just one year, and if we weren’t moving, we would’ve happily kept him there. His teachers, Andrea and Kylie, were so kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with him. He was always excited to go to school, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I knew he was not only safe but also loved and cared for. I can’t thank the staff enough for making our experience such a positive one. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and reliable environment!
My daughter attended DMA for three wonderful years, and as a mom, I'm beyond grateful for the love, care and support she receives every single day. From the very beginning, directors Deena and April, along with all amazing teachers, made us feel welcomed and supported. The entire team creates a nurturing, safe and engaging environment where my daughter could grow, learn, and thrive. Thank you Deena, April, Kathy, and every teacher at DMA. We will always look back on this time with appreciation and happy memories!
Developing minds is the second childcare center that we have been with and we are so so so impressed with the staff. They deeply care about your kids. I love that they follow a school year and that your child has the same teachers and same classmates for an entire school year, as our previous center did not do that and moved kids as they aged out of classes. We saw our son get stressed in the previous type of environment (he had sleep regressions and would cry a lot), but he absolutely thrives in this one. The founders Deena and April deeply care about the kids and over the course of the year we noticed that basically the whole staff knows our kid, which has been really special. We've created friendships with other parents and feel so comfortable with every teacher we've ever interacted with. Plus our kid hardly wants to leave when we pick him up! The staff here is truly a second arm to our parenting team. I'm not sure where those negative reviews are coming from, but I would take them with a big grain of salt.... especially the ones that don't give any context or story as to why they are having an issue.
I LOVE Developing Minds Academy! The kids' schedule is filled with so many fun activities like Yoga, PE, Music class, Water play (during summer), and more! The teachers are amazing! They are consistently sending updates throughout each day and sharing fun photos. It makes me feel at ease to know my child is learning and growing in a safe space with hands-on care.
There aren’t enough good things to say about Developing Minds Academy. We enrolled our son into the toddlers program and he absolutely loves it and so do we! He gets so excited to go to school everyday and comes home glowing. The staff is absolutely incredible, warm and kind. Every teacher and staff member at Developing Minds truly cares about the children and it’s so obvious. Our son loves all the daily activities (music, yoga, sports etc.) and the kids are always engaged and having a blast! Additionally, we love all the community building events for the parents and families! There’s no greater feeling than leaving your child in a loving, caring and fun environment with people who feel like family. Thank you!
