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.
