Testimonials
See what some of our past & current parents say about Young Minds Academy…
Since starting at Little Mounties by Young Minds Academy at the end of 2019, the staff have been nothing but a blessing to my children and family. My son who is now 2 can speak full sentences clearly. My daughter graduated from preschool and is now excelling in kinda. She is now apart of the before and after school program which she loves.
The staff have been nothing but supportive, loving and caring towards my 3 babies and I have complete trust in the work they do. I can see they treat my babies as if they were their own and I will be forever grateful.
The owner also has been nothing short of exceptional. She has not only provided a safe and loving environment for my babies, she has been understanding during this pandemic and assisted us when needed to ensure my babies are not left out.
Love the centre, the staff and Irene would definitely give a 5 star rating you will not be disappointed.
Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness and Value.
I highly recommend Young Minds Academy! While I’m at work, my mind is always at ease because I know my son Angelo, is in a safe place, learning and having fun with Miss Joy and Miss Viv. I just wanted to let you know how much I value your professionalism and tell you that I’m seeing great improvement in my child’s ability to express himself.
The Director, Irene, is also a really nice lady. Thank you for being so helpful, and Thank you for always doing all you can to bring out the best in my son and for constantly motivating and encouraging him to strive!
Our family has had such a wonderful experience with this daycare. The educators who worked with my boys, Mona, Leticia and Vika, are truly incredible. They consistently go above and beyond to make the children feel safe, happy and supported. It’s so clear how much they care about the kids, and they bring so much warmth, patience and energy to what they do every day. My boys absolutely loved these girls. We never had morning tears, they would run to the door and the girls would great them as if they were their own kids. I could not have asked for better care of my babies.
I also noticed such a positive change in my boys while they were there. They came home calmer, more settled, and much more regulated, which I really credit to the care and consistency the ladies provided. The team treated them with genuine warmth while also maintaining a fair and structured routine, which I think is so important for growing boys.
The management is also fantastic. Amelia is amazing to deal with. She is approachable, easy to talk to, and always kind and supportive. She’s a funny, relatable lady, who needs 100% recognition for how hard she works. She has always made my family feel welcome and comfortable.
We’re really grateful for the care and effort the team puts into looking after the children. We only moved daycare as we moved houses, otherwise I would have stay there forever. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our boys. ❤️
