Young Minds Learning Center

Blood, sweat, and tears! We have so many children come in and out of our lives, we love them all equally and continue to do this heard but meaningful work!

❤️❤️❤️

The work your provider does today, before you walk back through that door:

❤️ Soothed a meltdown without raising a voice
🧡 Noticed when a kid wasn't quite their self
💚 Read the same book three times because someone asked
💙 Memorized which bites your child will eat and which ones get pushed off the plate
💜 Cleaned up things most adults would rather not picture
💛 Stayed steady in moments that would test almost anyone

Provider Appreciation Day is this Friday, May 8️⃣
If your child feels safe, seen, and known, that didn't happen by accident. Someone built that, on purpose, every single day.🥰

My friend Brandy Sroga-Coons so perfectly explains the system of childcare assistance and the standard that providers are held to in the state of Minnesota.

Minnesota childcare providers describe complex paperwork amid fraud crackdown How does fraud happen in Minnesota’s childcare assistance program? That's the question some daycares are asking after the feds raided nine daycares accused of fraud last week.

We had a fun and busy in-service day today! It was beautiful weather, we opened the center up to the fresh spring air! On top of a busy morning of cleaning, rearranging, and working on continuing education training, we also had really good and productive parent teacher conferences! 👏💯

I’m impressed by YMLC’s team!! 🙌🥰

I do not oppose cameras, I have them in our center. What India is saying here is truth to its core! So well written! 👏👏🙌💯❤️
