Teachers

Great curriculum starts and ends with great teachers. Growing Hearts and Minds has distinguished itself through the personal relationship you will develop with your child's teachers. Our personalized care approach makes it feel as though you hired someone to care for your child in your own home, while still offering your child all the social, emotional, and development benefits of a school based program.

We take great pride in offering our teachers the most socially and emotionally supportive work environment in the industry. We want to allow our teachers to work from their strengths. Therefore, we have created a culture built on gratitude, respect, wholeheartedness, and fun!

Assessments

We are proud to use a developmental assessment called Teaching Strategies GOLD.
This research backed program is based on 38 developmental objectives assessing a child's development and learning from a wholistic perspective. Every child is observed and assessed throughout the year using these criteria. The curriculum and assessment tool fit together perfectly, so the teachers can create an individualized learning plan to give every child the chance to succeed. Developmental observations are continually communicated to parents as needed, and formally reported semi-annually during one-on-one parent teacher conferences. These tools are fully aligned with Colorado Academic Preschool Standards and Colorado State Kindergarten Standards.
