Pre-K Room
Our Pre-K classroom is a vibrant hub of learning and discovery, designed to nurture the burgeoning independence and intellectual curiosity of four-year-olds. We foster a playful yet structured environment where children develop essential pre-literacy and pre-math skills through hands-on activities, creative projects, and engaging social interactions. Our experienced teachers guide children through exploration, encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-expression. We believe in fostering a strong sense of community, building confidence, and preparing each child for a successful transition to kindergarten. We embrace a curriculum that balances academic rigor with imaginative play, ensuring a fun and enriching learning experience.
Miss Tannia - Head Teacher
“Welcome! I’d like to start off by saying thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch your little one grow, learn, and have fun. I have been in the Education field for about 11 years! I’ve done different supervising jobs but that is just not where my passion lies. I am a mom to four children and watching them grow is something that is extremely important to me. Growing Minds provides an environment and career where I can be a present mother and also be a teacher, which is ultimately what makes me happy!”

Each child’s day will start with a warm welcome from their teachers and friends. Morning snack is served once all children have arrived, which is a perfect time for morning check-ins and friendly interactions. The topic of the day will be introduced during circle time which will be followed by an engaging activity that enhances their understanding. Each morning will be filled with many different age-appropriate learning opportunities to get our pre-k students ready for their transition into kindergarten! Lunch is served at 11:45am. After lunch, students will be given the opportunity to read books as they wind down for naptime. Afternoon snack is then given before the rest of the afternoon is filled with free play either indoors or on our age-appropriate playground!
