Questions...
We know that choosing the right daycare for your child is a big decision, and we’re here to provide the answers you need. Here, you’ll find responses to some of the most common questions we receive.
1
What is GMA?
Currently, we are a home daycare operating in North Stamford, CT with one classroom for ages 0-4 years old.
By the end of 2025, we want to be a full service Early Childhood Education System offering an on-site daycare serving children up to 4 years old, an Academy with multiple mixed-age pods for Pre-K through 4th Grade students and a tutoring service available for Academy students and the public.

How is GMA different than other at-home daycares?
We aren't your average home daycare. In fact, we don't plan to stay as an at-home daycare for long. If you read our vision, you'll understand how passionate we are about the homeschool experience. That's why we've implemented benefits that mimic a center-based childcare facility at an at-home daycare price.
​
Typically, at-home daycares are run by the home owner. At GMA, we have a team of teachers dedicated to the safety and development of our students.

What are some of the benefits of sending my child to GMA?
A home daycare offers an intimate and warm setting where children can learn and grow while receiving personalized care. With more affordable tuition and direct contact with daycare owners, families benefit from a convenient and nurturing environment. At Growing Minds Academy, we take these advantages even further. One of our Co-Directors is a certified teacher in K-6 and Special Education, bringing a wealth of knowledge in child development and education. We have built a custom, theme-based curriculum with the guidance of a Certified Curriculum Consultant to ensure engaging and meaningful learning experiences. Additionally, we utilize Procare, a parent communication platform, to streamline daycare management, making it easier for families to stay connected and organized.

What curriculum do you follow?
We believe in hands-on learning, which is why we've built a custom thematic-based curriculum inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori. Our curriculum assures each child plays, learns, speaks and acts according to the developmental milestones identified by the State of Connecticut's Office of Early Childhood. To access a list of these milestones, click here.

Does GMA run year round?
The daycare runs year round with two week-long breaks; one in the summer and one in the winter. We close for all federal holidays.
