Description: Here at Inspired Minds, our goal is to not only provide a safe and healthy environment for your child, but also to provide developmentally appropriate and engaging both structured and unstructured activities throughout the day. We provide learning centers throughout our classrooms to allow students to learn and participate with small groups of other children. We understand that by guiding students, they are able to make their own choices and decisions, resulting in a fun and exciting learning experience. It is those fun and exciting experiences that children come home and are excited to share, and it is also what makes our work here at Inspired Minds fun for all.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
