How toilet-trained do children need to be? We would like for students to be working on potty training, and we are happy to facilitate that process.

Parental participation required: No parental involvement required, but parents are encouraged to be as involved as they wish.  We are a close-knit community of parents working together to create the healthiest first school experience possible for our children. I am the teacher, but I feel my relationships with the parents are almost as important as my relationships with their children. By maintaining an open dialogue with parents, I feel I am able to provide the highest quality care for their children.

Special features: We are a play-based program where learning is hands-on and fun. At Mindgarden, we strive to create an environment where preschoolers learn at their own pace, following their own interests. Likewise, we develop teacher-led activities that are open-ended and adaptable to different ages and skill levels.
