Infants
A warm, responsive environment centered on nurturing relationships, sensory exploration, early communication, movement, and individualized routines.
WELCOME TO INSPIRED MINDS
Where little learners feel safe, supported, and excited to explore their world through hands-on learning, meaningful routines, and plenty of play.
OUR CHILDCARE COMMUNITY
At Inspired Minds Childcare Centers, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged to be curious. Our classrooms balance play, hands-on exploration, meaningful routines, and age-appropriate learning experiences.
We support the whole child — socially, emotionally, academically, and physically — while building strong relationships with families. Our goal is to help each child grow in confidence, independence, kindness, and a lifelong love of learning.
OUR PROGRAMS
Thoughtfully designed care and learning experiences for every stage of early childhood.
A warm, responsive environment centered on nurturing relationships, sensory exploration, early communication, movement, and individualized routines.
Active learning for busy little explorers with opportunities for language growth, movement, sensory play, social skills, and growing independence.
Hands-on learning that supports communication, self-help skills, friendships, creativity, routines, and the big developmental changes of age two.
A more structured preschool day with early literacy, phonics, names, numbers, calendar skills, sensory experiences, art, science, and learning through play.
Kindergarten-readiness through meaningful academics, social-emotional learning, independence, problem solving, classroom routines, and hands-on discovery.
Act 166: Our Younger Pre-K and Older Pre-K classrooms are Act 166 funded for eligible Vermont families.
HOW WE LEARN
Learning at Inspired Minds happens through real experiences. Children create, investigate, build, move, ask questions, make friends, solve problems, and discover what they can do.
Explore. Create.
Discover. Get Messy.
Grow.
RAIN OR SHINE
And we think that is a wonderful sign of a day well spent.
We believe children need opportunities to connect with nature and experience the outdoors in every season. We head outside in the sunshine, rain, and snow whenever conditions are safe for play.
Children may dig in dirt, stomp through puddles, explore mud, play in snow, collect natural materials, and get messy. These experiences support sensory development, motor skills, creativity, problem solving, confidence, and connection with the natural world.
Family tip: Please send weather-appropriate clothing, shoes that can get dirty, and a change of clothes. Play first, clean up after!
FAMILIES ARE PART OF OUR TEAM
We value open communication and meaningful partnerships with families. You know your child best, and we want you to feel welcomed, informed, and connected to your child's day and development.
