Growing Minds
Center in Berkey, OH 43504
Our pre-school room is a wonderful place filled with things to explore discover and create! We have designed a place where each child is able to learn all the necessary skills needed to succeed in kindergarten and to continue to thrive. Our well planned centers allow children to choose activities to have self-directed play and to work in small groups.
The object of the pre-school dance/movement program is to address the issues of gross motor movement and physical education to ensure healthy active growth. The program centers on: dance principles including jazz tap ballet and cultural dances; listening skills; telling stories through movements; auditory clues; tumbling; coordination; balancing and self-control.

Children are enriched by the core values of natural science and environmentalism. Having the understanding that we all live in harmony inclusive of plants animals and humans and that one cannot survive without the other has enlightened our children and brought them an awareness that even at their young ages they can have a positive impact on the community around them.
Our children have become respecters of vegetation animals and insects. They are able to not only participate in planting and producing vegetables and flowers and recycle different materials they understand the importance of it and are able to articulate these facts intelligently. They have nature values instilled in them as to how to take care of their environment as well as themselves.
While naturalism is a viable part of Growing Minds and indeed the world as a whole we also demonstrate physical fitness exercise balanced nutrition and education. Upon graduating from our learning center our children have mastered fine motor finger separation balance of body relationship voice control mirroring rhythm auditory directions hand-eye coordination effective communication conflict resolution and more. Our children are sent to higher learning facilities such as private and public schools fully prepared.
