First let me start off saying this daycare isn’t your regular daycare! This facility cares for your child as if their one of their own & what stands out the most is that the teachers actually teaches. I said that because my daughter who is now 3 started this daycare when she was 1 and when I tell you she’s smart for her age I mean that! My baby is able to recognize her shapes, colors and numbers. She is able to count pass 10 without any help. It makes me so happy that I know when I pick my daughter up after work that she can tell me something new she learned. All the staff treats my baby as family and I adore them for that. Ms. Sanders thank you for building a strong & loving foundation that has taught my baby so much, I really appreciate it. Parents if you’re looking for the right school for your little one, IOIM is definitely the place!

Institute of Intriguing Minds has been home for me and both of my 2 children for 4 months now it seem like I've been here for some decades and within that time period my 3 year old is able to identify his shapes, colors, and is on his way to writing. He is striving to be great and it makes me super proud that he has some wonderful teachers teaching him. My 5 year old can count by his 5s his 10s,and also his 20s and is working his way up to 100, he is also learning how to write his name identify his numbers and learning his sight words. Both of my kids has improved in so many ways since attending IOIM It’s a phenomenal experience watching my children grow within the program not to mention the feelings they express when it’s time to go school. I’ve been nothing but pleased since I've enrolled them that I decided to further my career by becoming a teacher within the program. Which allowed me to get a job here as well. I've always worked with kids and Its truly a great feeling being in a positive and fun workspace. Especially doing what I love and which is dealing with kids. I enjoy coming here teaching my scholars what they need to know for their future, I’d recommend this school to anyone looking to have their children in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. This place is very inspiring and I love it.

I don’t think I could have found a better daycare or a better staff to take care & educate my 2 & 3 year old! I am so happy I found Ms. Sanders, I feel my children are genuinely loved at IOIM & they also love being there. I am very grateful my kids have the opportunity to learn in such a loving & caring environment. Thank you Ms. Sanders & staff for doing such an amazing job, you are greatly appreciated! ❤️

My 2 year old granddaughter attends this daycare center during the day and my 4 year old attends the afterschool program. The 2 year old loves walking in in the morning and neither child wants to leave when I pick them up in the evening. The center is clean, bright , and welcoming. The girls love the staff. They always have something new to tell me about. This week they have been constantly talking about the season Fall, but they not only know the season, they have so many details and experiences to share. The location is easy for me to get to from the downtown Newark area; very convenient. I highly recommend this school

The institute goes beyond a daycare center or babysitting service. These are certified teachers, teaching the toddlers a kindergarten curriculum!! It's only been 3 weeks and I can't believe the progress my 2 year old is making. She's identifying letters and numbers, sounding out the letters to find words that start with them, and using them in complete sentences. They do positive affirmations every morning, and refer to all students as "scholars" no matter how young. Lessons made FOR US, BY US!! Teaching them to be great, to love themselves and others, and to be brilliant! If you're in Newark or the surrounding area, I strongly urge you to check them out for your child! They accept program for parents and offer after care up to age 13. My daughter couldn't be in better hands!
