Who We Are
Mindbuilders Preschool is lovingly operated and run by a
staff of "mind builders," or teachers, committed to
molding the young mind builders, or "learners". We are a
family of educators who are dedicated to building minds,
enhancing your child's dominant intelligences and
talents, and bringing out the other intelligences still
undiscovered.
We are also advocates of
MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES,
pioneered by leading developmental psychologist and
Harvard Professor
Howard Gardner,
which proposes that there in not one thing called
intelligence, but rather several different types of
intelligence that work together (or, sometimes, play
together) since each person's overall intellectual
development and structure is unique. Using this theory,
we have designed our approach to teaching and our
curriculum to "build" these intelligences innate in your
children.
"I want people at the end of their education to
understand the world in ways that they couldn't have
understood it before their education. In speaking of the
world I mean the physical world, the biological world,
the social world — their own world, their personal world
as well as the broader social and cultural terrain. I
believe that these are questions that every human being
is interested in from a very young age. They're
questions which kids ask all the time: who am I,
where do I come from, what's this made out of, what's
going to happen to me, why do people fight, why do they
hate? Is there a higher power? Questions like that —
they don't usually ask them in their words, they ask
them in their play, in their stories, the myths they
like to listen to and so on."
Howard Gardner talks with John Brockman
("Truth, Beauty and Goodness: Education for All Human
Beings, An Interview with Howard Gardner)
The Team
The education and care we provide directly relates to
the high quality of our staff and management. That's why
we select the best and provide great benefits and
continuous training to our employees.

Our
teachers are highly qualified and experienced in
progressive methods of early childhood education.
They have a genuine appreciation of a child's
individuality and thus effectively provide diverse
opportunities for growth. They are committed to
develop all domains and intelligences of each
child. Aside from their inherent creativity and
love for children, our teachers continually
improve themselves through extensive trainings and
workshops that keep them abreast on the |

latest trends and developments in preschool
education. They maintain an attitude of
being lifelong learners themselves and are truly
worth calling "mind
builders". |
