Global Minds Preschool describes its mission as providing a transformative early learning experience that integrates language acquisition and holistic development, with a focus on Spanish and Mandarin fluency, cultural understanding, and social and emotional growth. The program states that it offers immersive language programs for children 18 months to 5 years old, including Spanish and Mandarin immersion preschool programs and a multilingual summer camp that combines fun-filled activities with Mandarin and Spanish immersion in a language-rich environment where both languages are integrated into subjects like math, science, art, and music. The school notes that the alphabet is taught with Spanish and pinyin phonetics in classrooms and that it emphasizes social and emotional development and global culture through the Friday country cultural study, which can be led by parents.
All teachers at Global Minds Preschool can speak English and are native Mandarin or Spanish speakers, and lead teachers have a B.A. or M.A. and experience teaching languages. The staff is described as adapting to different learning styles and personalities and as having a passion for teaching and children, with an energetic, enthusiastic, caring, and patient approach that makes learning effortless and fun. The leadership team includes teachers Karen Banks, Helen Bishop, Denise Hunt, Amber Tran, Amy Guzman, and Pamela Sanchez, and testimonials mention Adam and Chi Chi as having built the team at Global Minds Preschool.
Parents can participate in the community by leading the Friday “country cultural study,” which focuses on one particular country for 2–3 Fridays per month, and by getting involved with weekly reading or cultural study. Testimonials from families describe children becoming engaged with Mandarin and Spanish, enjoying classroom activities and summer camp, and experiencing a welcoming environment from staff and other children. One testimonial notes that Global Minds Preschool is seen as part of an evolving educational landscape in Arizona focused on teaching Mandarin and Spanish and connecting families who value exposing their children to the wider world.
