★★★★★Selena J KimWe had an amazing experience with Susan and Art at Mindcraft. 1. Susan and Art truly go above and beyond to ensure that the kids have an enjoyable and fulfilling time. 2. They don’t overlook the academic aspect and provide excellent coaching to support the children’s learning. 3. Having tried several preschools and after-schools, I can confidently say this is the best one we’ve experienced. 4. The snacks are always top-notch and thoughtfully varied, ensuring the kids have a range of healthy and fun options. 5. On particularly hot days, they even provide refreshing treats like shaved ice for the kids, which my child loved! Thank you, Susan and Art, for creating such a warm, supportive, and fun environment for our children. I highly recommend this program to any parent!
★★★★★Abhijit TalathiI can highly recommend Mindcraft academy as an excellent after school program. My son is as stuck at home as schools were closed due to COVID. He is very outgoing and needs interaction, which he was not getting during the pandemic. Thanks to the great team including Ms Susan, Marty and Chris, he loves going there every afternoon. He especially likes the aeronautics program and is very much into building model airplanes with me. I cannot say good enough things about his experience. Thank you.
★★★★★Qing LiuWe love this learning center! My son has a wonderful time there and he always wants to get back to the center, even during the COVID-19 time. Luckily, the center offers free classes every week to give kids chances to meet and chat with each other, and learn together online during this difficult time. In the past two years, my son gets help on his academic learning as well as explores new interests in many areas, like aerospace knowledge, world war I & II, chess, public speaking, art, and most important one - outdoor fun. He makes friends from different grades, also with teachers: Mr. Chris, Mr. Armando, Mr. Marty, and some others. We are grateful to know about this place! Since another parent of my son's classmate recommended this center to us 2 years ago, we can always maintain smooth and efficient communication with Ms. Susan. With her help, we are confident that our child can have a meaningful and enjoyable time. Ms. Susan is very considerate. She is like a family and is willing to support you in raising children together. I feel like she is not doing this for money but for the future of our kids. We highly recommend this place to everyone. ****** below information is from my son ****** Ms.Susan is very caring. On holidays, she sometimes takes us to the parks or throws a party with yummy treats like ice cream, hot cocoa, donuts, candies, and even root beer floats and pizza.
