How we build confidence
“Building confidence is important because confident children tend to raise their hand, take a chance, try their best, and try again, ultimately leading to more meaningful and successful lives.
We give them choices, we allow them to do things themselves, we praise them wisely, we appreciate their individuality, and we spend one-on-one time with them.
We want each and every child to feel happy and learn a lot, so they're prepared as much as possible for entering Kindergarten.”

Little Explorers
One's
During the toddler years, children are developing their language skills greatly. They are great observers and steadily build their vocabularies by absorbing the language around them. Here at Young Minds we encourage this exploration of language through songs, nursery rhymes, and books. We also encourage creativity through sensory exploration of art materials such as clay and paint.
Little Learners
Two's
During this stage of development children are highly curious and love to explore independently. They enjoy pretending, playing with finger puppets, shaking rhythm instruments, and putting their motor skills to use. It is at this age that the foundation for reading and writing should begin by reading books and allowing them to discover print through stories and alphabet activities. Two year olds also love to sing and dance so music is a great tool to use in educating them.
Little Creators
Three's
At this stage of development your child learns primarily through exploration using all of the five senses. They develop their logical reasoning skills as they play. They are able to sort, identify, and classify objects as well as many new academic abilities. At this age, it is important for your child to socialize with other children and form friendships with others. Young Minds provides great opportunities for social growth and independence.
