About Growing Minds Preschool Co-op
Nurturing Young Minds
Our Approach
Growing Minds Preschool Co-op is a homeschool preschool co-op that meets in southeast Sioux Falls twice a month. Our approach is centered around creating a supportive and engaging environment where young children can learn and grow together. Through our cooperative model, we aim to foster a sense of community and collaboration among both the children and their parents, providing a unique learning experience.
Who We Are
Two moms embarked on a mission to blend the best of homeschooling and traditional preschool education. Their vision was to create a unique learning environment for their children. The group of former teachers share a common passion for education, driven by the desire to help others recognize the potential in each child. This shared dedication highlights their commitment to fostering a positive learning environment where every student can thrive. Through their collective experience and expertise, they aim to inspire and empower others to make a difference in the lives of young learners.
