About Us
Cultivating a love for learning in Clarkson for over 25 years.
Founded in 2000, Young Minds recognized the need for exceptional early childhood education in Clarkson. Our core philosophy redefines the early years experience, moving beyond rote learning to implement the best pedagogical practices that inspire creativity and joy in children and educators.
We created a distinct, dynamic school environment where growth is shared and fundamental human values like love, respect, and compassion are lived daily. We aim to evolve into an early years school of research—a beacon of innovation that continuously questions, experiments, and refines its approach to unlock each child’s potential.
Today, we proudly offer a curriculum where creativity is cultivated through engaging, hands-on, inquiry-based learning. We have fostered an atmosphere where children actively fall in love with learning.
Young Minds is a healthy, warm, safe, and profoundly nurturing environment—the transformative educational program we collectively wished for ourselves. It is a school where families, children, and educators feel an undeniable sense of belonging.
Our ambitious journey continues daily. Our central goal is to powerfully ignite and sustain the intrinsic love of learning in every child, educator, and parent in the Young Minds family. Our commitment to excellence, compassion, and innovation is a daily promise.
