Critical Thinking

We adhere to the philosophy and methodologies of both High Scope learning, as well as Emergent Curriculum. High Scope learning places emphasis on the importance of providing children with a solid foundation of language and mathematics skills, while Emergent Curriculum encourages creativity on both the parts of the caregivers and children by giving them the opportunity to express themselves freely and to design programming based on the children’s interests.

What Our Families are Saying

Our son attended Active Minds for the summer (during Covid). Miss Shaheen is amazing at what she does. She provides so many activities, has an amazing outdoor space unlike any other home daycare we have seen or heard of, provides nutritious meals and is very professional. Our son learnt so much from her in the 2 months that he was there and we wish we could have kept him longer. We are so glad we came across Active Minds! Highly recommend!

I am so happy to have met Ms. Shaheen! She is a Professional and puts lots of love into her daily programming. Active Minds Activity Center has a beautiful outdoor environment for children to play and explore nature. I am happy to recommend this lovely home-feel daycare to anyone looking for childcare.

Shaheen is amazing and very detailed oriented. Lots of thought goes into the daily programs for the children. Clearly, she loves what she does and that is teaching and taking care of the children. Very professionally operated daycare with a very pleasant and clean environment.
