I had such a wonderful experience with Growing Minds Learning Academy! Alissa and Jessie hopped right in to help me with an emergency placement and truly went above and beyond. My niece is always so excited to see the staff, and it’s clear she feels safe and cared for every day. The center is extremely clean and professional, and the entire team is warm, welcoming, and attentive. I really appreciate the constant updates throughout the day, any time something important comes up, I get a message right away. It’s such a wholesome and reassuring environment. Highly recommend Growing Minds Learning Academy to any family looking for a supportive and reliable childcare center!

The Growing Minds Learning Academy is an exceptional place for children to learn, grow, and thrive. The environment is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to support each child’s development.

The director is absolutely amazing professional, attentive, and deeply committed to creating a positive and supportive learning community. Her leadership is evident in every aspect of the academy and makes a meaningful difference in the quality of care provided. We also cannot say enough wonderful things about our infant teacher.

It means so much to know our baby is genuinely loved and supported. Overall, The Growing Minds Learning Academy exceeds expectations.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Growing Minds. Our daughter was in the Infant Two class with Ms. Sunny and Ms. LeAnn, and she connected with them from day one. They were always friendly, attentive, and caring. She didn’t take a bottle at first and had trouble napping, but they were patient, communicative, and willing to try different approaches and were eventually successful with both. We always felt she was genuinely cared for. Communication was consistently great, updates and photos through the app, and at drop off and pick up. She even came home with a surprising amount of art for a one year old. When our family situation changed unexpectedly, the director, Ms. Jessie, and the owners were incredibly understanding and supportive. That meant the world to us. We absolutely recommend Growing Minds Learning Academy to any family. The facilities are nice, always clean, and the entire staff made us feel welcome and supported.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 18 months old, starting at their previous location, and even though I now have to drive quite far every day, it has been completely worth it from day one. One of the things I appreciate the most is how thoughtfully they handle the transition from one classroom to another. It is done progressively, allowing the children to adapt with ease. This truly impressed me because my daughter forms strong bonds with her teachers, and I initially thought each transition would be challenging. Instead, they have made it a positive and smooth experience, and I congratulate them for this method. I also love the communication through the app and being able to see the activities they do every day. It’s wonderful to see how well they understand the developmental stages at each age and the patience they show with the children. I often ask my daughter, “What made you happy today?” and her answer is, “Being with my friends at daycare.” That says everything. As a parent, I have felt supported and welcomed. The staff is amazing and clearly supports one another, which creates a warm and positive environment for both the children and families. I am truly grateful for this daycare.

My son has been here for almost a year and we have had a great experience! All of the teachers are very nice and they keep us updated pretty well on Brightwheel app. It's easy to get in touch with the administrators. The staff are all very affectionate to the kids and keep things fun. There has been some teacher turnover, but I think that happens at most daycares. They also work with us to allow my son to get his speech therapy at the school. He is so happy at school that now when I come to pick him up, he wants to keep playing!
