Where do I begin... We started researching preschools for our son when he was still a young baby…read more Given our very high expectations we could not have been more relieved when we learned about Growing Minds and had the immense privilege of meeting Mrs. Uzma Ansari! She has undoubtedly gone above and beyond dedicating herself to early childhood education for over 20 years. Her passion and compassion along with her genuine love for all the little ones is undeniable! Our son has attended the school for almost 3 years now. We feel so blessed that his first experience with formal education has been at Growing Minds. The teachers follow Mrs. Ansari's vision and have worked alongside her for years, (which is so rare nowadays) and makes such a difference! Being a Montessori School, our son has consistently had the same teacher: Mrs. Carattini. We could not be more grateful for how loving, patient, gentle, nurturing and caring she is. The result is, our son, along with his little peers' flourish into confident, independent, curious children who have undoubtedly been positively impacted by a unique, positive learning environment. Montessori education makes a world of a difference and challenges students to remain true to who they are while cultivating a genuine love for learning. I could not recommend Growing Minds Montessori School more highly to anyone who is looking for a solid educational foundation as well as a loving, nurturing environment for their child. It was the best decision of our lives, and it will be yours too!

If you value high quality montessori education and want a supportive and peaceful learning environment for your little one then this is the place!

I do not recommend this daycare. I paid 254 dollars to get my son started because I was going back…read moreto work. He had only been there one day before for us to have issues. They reported me to DCF stating that my son had burns marks on his skin, that he doesn't seem to get baths at home, that he was dirty , and that the home is hazardous and not safe for my one year old. (Because of the appearance of his eczema) This was after his first day of being there!! I was already afraid to leave him because I didn't like the vibe I was getting and they didn't seem as sincere as I would have liked trying to make me feel like I'm over reacting for being afraid to leave my son after being a stay at home mom. I messaged the co-director all day to check on him and she stated he was fine. I know my child and I know he wasn't as fine as she made him seem. He wasn't as social and he didn't eat his meals very much that were provided. This I know for sure because I primarily breastfeed him and he doesn't like certain Whole Foods. This is to be expected so I'm not upset about it but she didn't let me know the truth. My son came home super hungry after daycare so I knew he didn't really accept the food. I had to ask the worker again the next day did he really eat his food and she said oh why ? And then when I told her why she said well no not really he looked at it and pushed it away ! I could have purchased little meals that he likes an brought them in to avoid him not eating. Also I shouldn't have to keep probing someone to tell the simple truth. The second day I dropped him off he had an extra outfit in his bag for emergencies and the pants where a little to big around his waist because he's still a little small for a 1 year old. Long story short he ended up popping up his back and had to change and the worker called and said he needed another outfit to change into because the pants were too big. I took her another outfit within 20 minutes ! This was only the second day. Around 11 am DCF showed up to my job to question me. They also came out to the home today to view everything. They stated the home was perfectly fine and that they checked with his Dr and confirmed his skin condition and medication/treatment plan. I also provided the daycare with his medication and informed them of his condition and they still called DCF with false claims. My son is fine and the case is closed. I removed my son from this daycare and again from my personal experience I feel that I wasn't communicated with at all with any concerns. They teachers smiled and acting like everything was okay. Also I tried to speak with the Co-Director about my concerns she said she didn't know what I was talking about and that I needed to leave and she called the sheriff. I told her I was going to post my review and she said that's fine because I wasn't telling the truth. Again this is my personal experience and I do not recommend them . I wasted my money. I didn't receive any communication and after I tried to voice my opinion the director continued to tell me to leave. But apparently they had plenty of time to send a report to DCF.
