Welcome to Growing Minds Preschool & Daycare, a nurturing and vibrant environment where young minds are inspired to learn and grow.
At Growing Minds Preschool and Daycare, we offer a range of comprehensive, research‐based programs designed to support the holistic development of children, typically aged 2 to 6 years. These programs are built on well‐established early childhood education theories and frameworks that emphasize not only academic readiness but also the cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development of young learners.
Below is an overview of the core components of programs offered at Growing Minds Preschool and Daycare for children aged 2 to 6 years. These elements are designed to foster holistic development—addressing cognitive, social-emotional, physical, language, and creative growth—while providing a safe, nurturing environment.
• Play-Based and Inquiry-Driven Learning:
Our Programs use a blend of structured and unstructured activities that allow children to learn through exploration, guided play, and open-ended investigations. This approach supports natural curiosity and problem-solving skills.
• Integrated Learning Domains:
Our curriculum typically covers key developmental areas including:
o Language and Literacy: Interactive storytelling, rhyming games, and early writing activities.
o Mathematics: Activities such as counting games, pattern recognition, and hands-on manipulatives.
o Science and Exploration: Experiments, nature play, and sensory activities that encourage observation and questioning.
o Creative Arts: Opportunities for drawing, music, dance, and dramatic play to stimulate creativity.
o Social Studies: Simple lessons about community, family roles, and cultural traditions.
• Physical Safety and Cleanliness:
Our facilities are child-friendly, with secure, well-maintained spaces, both indoors and outdoors, that meet regulatory safety and hygiene standards.
• Stimulating Learning Environment:
Our classrooms and play areas are arranged to encourage exploration and independent play, with varied materials that invite experimentation and hands-on learning.
• Flexible Routines:
Our programs have a balance between structured activities (circle time, group lessons) and free play provides predictability and stability while allowing individual expression.
By embedding Critical Thinking and Inquiry-Based Learning, our Senior KG curriculum equips children with essential 21st-century skills:
• • Teacher Qualifications and Low Ratios: Our facilitators/educators are trained in early childhood education and maintain low child-to-teacher ratios, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and support.
• • Ongoing Professional Development: Our regular training and reflective practices enable facilitators to stay updated with best practices and adjust the curriculum to meet the evolving needs of children.
• • Facilitator Role: Our teachers act as facilitators rather than didactic instructors, observing children’s interests and extending learning opportunities through thoughtful questioning and guidance.
• Continuous Observation and Documentation:
Our educators use observation-based assessments to monitor each child’s progress across developmental domains, which helps tailor activities and support individual learning trajectories.
• Responsive Planning:
Our assessment data guide the planning of future experiences to challenge and support each child at their current level of development.
• Emotional and Social Skill Development:
Our programs include activities that promote cooperation, conflict resolution, empathy, and self-regulation—key skills for later school success and overall well-being.
• Family Engagement:
Our open communication channels and regular parent-teacher interactions are critical. Our programs offer workshops, newsletters, and events that encourage parents to become active partners in their child’s education.
• Diversity and Inclusion:
Our high-quality programs adapt to meet the needs of all children, including those with disabilities or from diverse cultural backgrounds. This involves using materials and practices that reflect the children’s home languages and cultural experiences.
• Health and Nutrition:
For our daycare children, we provide dietician-designed meals and health routines as part of the daily schedule, ensuring that children’s physical well-being supports their learning and development.
In summary, preschool programs offered by professional preschools are multifaceted initiatives that combine play-based learning, a well-integrated curriculum, skilled educators, and active family engagement. These programs are designed to address the whole child, laying a robust foundation for lifelong learning and development. Parents seeking the best early educational experiences for their children should consider our programs that adhere to these high-quality standards and are supported by research and accredited by reputable organizations such as the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC, USA) and is a model embraced by many professional early childhood education providers worldwide.
