Welcome to the Daycare Thinkers program at Golden Minds Prep, specially designed for curious preschoolers aged 3 to 4. Building on the strong foundation of our Explorers group for ages 2 to 3, this program ensures a smooth and supportive transition as your child grows. Inspired by educational pioneers like Maria Montessori, Lev Vygotsky, and B.F. Skinner, we provide a well-rounded developmental experience tailored perfectly for this age group.
With one teacher for every six children, we ensure personalized attention and care. Our nutritious, organic meals inspired by European and Asian cuisines cater to all dietary needs, making mealtime a delight. View our menu here. See a sample of the organic food being bought weekly.

In a warm and inclusive environment, we spark a love of learning through engaging play-based activities that encourage exploration and discovery. Our ongoing observations and documentation guide us in tailoring experiences to each child's unique strengths and interests as they blossom within our program. At this age, we also introduce enrichment opportunities, such as Gifted and Talented preparation and twice-weekly Kumon Math and English programs.
The Thinkers group participates in a diverse array of classes and activities, such as Montessori, Karate, Math, English, Chess, Foreign Languages, Dance, Music, Theater, Robotics & Science, Arts & Crafts, Cooking, Nature, Yoga & Sound Bath and more, promotes comprehensive development in areas like physical growth, language skills, social-emotional well-being, and creativity.
