Testimonials


Ms.Judi is absolutely fantastic! Two of my girls have graduated from her program (now 5 and 7) and their transition from her program to kindergarten was seamless because she equipped them with all the skills necessary both academically and socially. I have one emotionally sensitive child and one who is out going and the warmth, structure and real-world experience of Ms. Judi’s program has helped them both become comfortable with who they are and to reach their full potential. When my girls started kindergarten they had already covered most of the curriculum with Ms. Judi and that was key to them loving school. Ms. Mary and Ms. Melissa are fantastic as well. They are a wonderful team and work with you through anything your child may need! I love them!

This will be our fifth year having a child at Growing Minds Preschool, and we are looking forward to sending our youngest daughter next year for the 2 ½ year program.  Judi provides a wonderfully nurturing, educational and FUN environment for the children.  Her individual attention to each child’s skill level and needs is second to none.  And her facility for the children is clean, spacious, and absolutely adorable.  We truly feel that Judi has provided our children with the perfect beginning to their education experience – both for them and us!

My husband and I knew from the moment we visited Growing Minds Preschool that it was the place for our daughter.  The environment they have created is structured for learning, but in a fun and creative way.  This will be her third year at Growing Minds, and I can't picture her anywhere else.  Each year she has continued to develop educationally, socially, and emotionally and we feel she will be more than ready to start kindergarten.  We wish we would have known about this opportunity when our older child was in pre-school.   The themes, projects, and lessons that have been taught here are more developed, more creative and more in depth than what we had previously been exposed to.  We are so blessed to have found Judi Ratcliffe's program for Abbey.  She can't wait to start another year there!
Troy & Traci Drake

I just can’t say enough good things about this preschool!  Growing Minds provided not only a nurturing environment, but also academically prepared my children for kindergarten.  They work on letters, numbers, counting, social skills and really prepare the children for the routine of a kindergarten day.  All of the teachers are friendly, loving and patient.  My children – one boy and one girl – have very different personalities, yet Ms. Judi was able to reach out to each of them individually and teach them in the way that worked best for them.  They both loved it there and in fact my son wanted Ms. Judi to follow him to kindergarten!  I am so thankful my children had such a great start to school.  I highly recommend this program!
