(Strictly a Preschool... NOT a Daycare!)
So you can rest easy at night, knowing your child will be prepared for kindergarten, make friends, and have fun. We're so excited for you to join our preschool family!
When you're here, you're family! You'll love our warm, bright in-home preschool, and your child will love our 1-on-1 attention with our small class sizes of just 10 students!
Hi friends! We are the faces of Tantalizing Minds Academy! A hands-on best practices preschool devoted to embracing your children and guiding them as they discover the world and its endless wonders.
We are the teachers of Tantalizing Minds Academy. A Mother-Daughter, Dream Team Duo from the start. I, Valerie (Snow White) started this business 26 years ago to provide a better life and education for my daughter, Denise (Moana). Now she stands beside me just as passionate about creating a wondrous lens for children to see the world through. We believe there are no "bad children" and we are committed to helping guide children and their families to better understand one another and open new opportunities and perspectives more suited for that child. We help every child find themselves and discover the beauty of the world around us.
Miss Janice, Miss Vicci, and Miss Raeanna are our assistant teachers and have been tremendous the past 26 years. From helping clean and organize our classroom, lesson planning, outdoor activities, you name it, they've done it. We are are so thankful for all they do!
When we are not teaching, we enjoy gardening, hiking, photography, playing with our pets, running races, knitting, crocheting, and traveling all over the United States together.
This is our twenty sixth year in business, and we absolutely love everything about it! Our favorite part is seeing our students' eyes light up when they grasp a new concept. It's so magical! We truly feel that teaching is our calling in life, and we can't wait to teach your little ones. We can't wait to meet you!
