Growing Minds Preschool & Enrichment Centers philosophy has always been one that acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of each and every child. Our purpose is to create a vision for high quality inclusive practices for all children regardless of their background or ability. We support the belief that a child’s strong sense of self-esteem comes from experiencing success within an age-appropriate environment enhanced by a rich, stimulating curriculum. The curriculum engages children’s learning in all developmental areas, while at the same time allowing for individual differences in learning styles and encouraging creativity through a variety of play-based experiences and environmental factors. We recognize the importance of early childhood education as the foundation for school success and lifelong learning and base our overall goals on this notion. The goals of the program are to develop a strong sense of self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as the development of the whole child with emphasis on social/emotional skills and independence.
Our teachers at Growing Minds Preschool and Enrichment Center are dedicated professionals who are passionate about working with children. They are trained in child development and early childhood education and are committed to providing a high-quality learning experience for your child.
The owner, Miss.Jessica - has a bachelors degree in early childhood education as well as a teaching certificate. She has been in the teaching field for over 10 years and is dedicated to providing a comfortable, home-like space for children to play, learn and thrive!

Our preschool classroom serves children from 3 years old to 5 years old. Our ratio in our preschool room is one teacher to nine children. We have a total of 17 children in our classroom with two teachers. Our preschool classroom is full of activities and items to let the childrens imagination and minds soar! Our learning/play centers provide opportunities to develop and grow each learning domain - mathematics, social and emotional development, literacy, language, physical activity, science, arts, etc. They are free to pick a center and choose from various stimulating and engaging manipulatives. While we engage in many structured and one-on-one activities, we firmly believe children should have a choice in their learning.
Each week, parents are provided with a "peek of the week" which outlines a review of our curriculum for the past week and a look into our curriculum for the upcoming week.
Honestly, it's been my boys second home. I could go on in length about the love they have all showed me and my family over the last 5 years. A huge bonus for me is the director/owner IS the head preschool teacher so you know the curriculum will always be fresh and personalized.
Miss Jess’s Growing Minds raised my youngest daughter since she was 8weeks old and was my oldest daughter’s teacher in the preschool and pre-k program from ages 3 through 5. She is not only the owner , but an amazing, experienced early childhood educator. Miss Jess went above and beyond to meet the very individual needs of my daughter . She listened, supported us, developed an unbelievable relationship with my daughter, understanding her and reaching her in ways no other educator could. I am forever grateful to have had Miss Jess in my daughter’s life. Miss Jess and her staff create a welcoming and safe environment. She is more prepared, and professional than any other preschool, child care provider there is.
