Imagine Early Years & Elementary – Here at Imagine!, Our educators are called Mind Aiders, we believe that our role as the more knowledgeable individual is to help guide our children to a place of understanding of things around them, helping to develop and connect neural pathways, never telling – always asking (why, who, what, how..?) to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
