About the provider

Motivated Minds was started to lay an educational foundation for children in and around the community so they could be prepared for kindergarten and beyond and develop an interest in learning. The program says it partners with parents as co-educators and creates community between home and school.

All programs abide by state-mandated teacher-to-child ratios. Families receive assessments regularly through written reports, ongoing portfolio collections, quarterly reports, and family/teacher conferences twice a year. For babies and toddlers, a daily log of feeding, sleeping, diapering, and learning activities is provided.
