  • Transparent+Background

    Every year we do a teacher appreciation box and give Great Minds Academy supplies the teacher ’s have on their wish list in honor of Hunter. The school not only made him feel welcomed they were able to have him learn with kids his age. I am forever grateful for how they treated Hunter.

  • What is the best age to start preschool?

    The ideal age to start preschool is typically around 3 years old, as children begin to develop social and cognitive skills. 


    However, it's essential to note that preschool and childcare serve distinct purposes. While preschool focuses on early education, childcare provides a nurturing environment for children from infancy. 


    Starting childcare at an earlier age can offer benefits like socialization and routine, laying a foundation for a smooth transition to preschool when they're developmentally ready, typically around age 3 or 4.

  • What is the VPK program?
