Monthly Themes To Guide
Learning While School Is Out
Programs incorporate family resources, experiences, and photos into monthly themes designed to help your child absorb knowledge while they’re away from school. They’ll learn about new people and places around the world, and current affairs in a fun, interactive way.
Dedicated Reading Time Every Day Keeps Skills Sharp
Your child dives into D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) so they keep their mind sharp for school. During school breaks, your child spends 30 minutes at a time with their favorite books to build on their love of literacy and learning.
Teachers Help Them Build
Emotional Intelligence Now
Having the ability to build strong interpersonal relationships helps young students become more self-confident and enjoy rewarding interactions with their peers. Our teachers will encourage your child grow emotionally intelligent and aware of how their actions affect others.
Educational Field Trips For Excitement On School Breaks
A change of scenery keeps the mind sharp! We regularly organize outings to the zoo, museum, bowling, swimming, and much more to keep the learning fun going during school breaks.
Science And Art Clubs To Spark Children’s Creativity And Curiosity
Our enriching roster of creative activities will encourage your little one’s imagination to roam freely and will surely help them develop a new set of interests. We offer storytime with a librarian, daily music lessons, arts and crafts activities, dance sessions, and much more!
Complimentary
Transport To And From
Local Elementary Schools
We make your daily commute as easy as 1-2-3 by acting as your child’s single drop-off and pick-up point. Our partnership with local elementary schools means that their buses will transport students directly to and from their facilities without parents having to worry about multiple stops.
Healthy, Nutritious Snacks To Look Forward To Throughout The Day
Whether your young learner is part of our before and after school program or participating in one of our school break camps, they can always look forward to snacks made from fresh fruits and vegetables. We are a nut free environment.
Large, Spacious Outdoor
Recreation Areas For Plenty
of Play and Exercise
No matter the time of year, our outdoor playground is open for your child to expend all of that pent-up energy and get in some exercise with their friends. With a playground spanning several acres, our outdoor space is filled with games and toys for a guaranteed fun time.
Ongoing Support And Feedback To Help Parents
Exploring Minds Academy’s open-door policy means that you can drop by at any point throughout the day to discuss your child’s care. We also make use of a mobile communication app called COR Advantage to keep you up to date on your child’s progress and share photos.
Hear What Parents Have To Say...
"Our daughter is welcomed each morning with a warm smile..."
We found Ms. Pamela Piekarski, who has 40 years of early education experience, is bilingual and raised three daughters, and her staff were courteous, professional and made time to address our concerns in a timely manner. Our daughter is welcomed each morning with a warm smile. I wholeheartedly recommend Exploring Minds Academy and encourage parents in need of day care to consider this center a legit possibility.
"The care in both the infant and toddler rooms has been great..."
We could not be more thrilled about Exploring Minds Academy. Its location also feels secluded and safe. The care in both the infant and toddler rooms has been great. We love the clear communication from staff and our child is excited to go to “school,” as well as excelling academically. We are consistently in awe of the center’s influence on our child’s sign language knowledge, manners, and verbal development.
"They teach my kids a lot of things like eating all their food..."
My kids love it here! Everyday they bring home something new they made and they are so proud of it. They teach my kids a lot of things like eating all their food is called "making a happy plate". They can say thank you and I want more in sign language. The staff is great and Mrs.Pamela actually cares about our life outside of school and will help you out if you have any problems going on.
"Curriculum based center focuses on learning through play with positive directives..."
Exploring Minds Academy is a curriculum based center that focuses on learning through play and redirecting with positive directives. It shows through kids that have passed through their doors that have gone on to succeed in their academics. The teachers are consistently being trained in new areas on how to teach your children. I highly recommend enrolling your children at Exploring Minds Academy!
"The staff & administration are all very trustworthy & I've never had a problem..."
My kids have been coming here since 2014 & they all have enjoyed it here. They have loved all of their teachers & have been well taken care of by all the staff over the years. The staff & administration are all very trustworthy & I've never had a problem with leaving my children here. I highly recommend enrolling your kids here as the curriculum is outstanding especially when entering kindergarten & at an affordable price.
"We have been comforted by the ample experience of many of the teachers..."
Exploring Minds has been our first and only daycare for our family and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We have really enjoyed the openness of the play area at Exploring Minds. We have been comforted by the ample experience of the teachers and have come to rely on daily reports supplied by the school. All in all, we are truly humbled to have such a dedicated team looking over the youngest member of our family.
"We absolutely love all the teachers and the smaller, more family-like feel..."
My son has been in the infant room at Exploring Minds since he was 2 and a half months old and it's been an amazing experience. We absolutely love all the teachers and the smaller, more family-like feel. He gets to be around babies/toddlers at different developmental stages, which has just been so valuable for him. We're incredibly grateful to everyone at Exploring Minds and so thankful he was able to get a spot there.
"Their days seem very well structured with times for creativity, learning and play..."
Our daughter has attended this daycare for about two years and we have been very happy with them. They are big advocates for outdoor time, which I love, and their days seem very well structured with times for creativity, learning and play. They provide healthy meals, which is a big convenience for the parents. Our toddler is happy, thriving and enjoys her days at Exploring Minds Academy.
"The staff and teachers do a great job of staying organized with activities..."
We love this cozy little center. The staff and teachers do a great job of staying organized with activities that the kids actually make or participate in. They have focused daily lessons at circle time. They also provide transportation to many other full and half day school programs. The program is truly affordable unlike most and I feel like they do just as much with the kids if not more. It may not be brand new but they are well established.
