Growing Minds Preschool

Our Teachers

Hi, my name is Rebecca Edwards. I am the director and teacher at Growing Minds Preschool. I am so pleased to have the opportunity to teach and get to know your child! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and completed several early childhood development courses. I have worked in the Educational field for over 12 years. My roles included Kindergarten assistant-teacher, Preschool assistant-teacher, long-term substitute Preschool teacher, private tutor, college resource assistant-teacher, and most recently a Kindergarten co-teacher. I enjoy the joy of children, teaching them, watching them grow and develop, and getting to know them. I have 3 children myself, a 6th grader, a 3rd grader, and a 1st grader. I love the beach, sports, walking trails, and spending time with my family.

Testimonials

Tim L. 4/2024 I can’t speak highly enough of Growing Minds preschool. Rebecca is a first-rate educator. Our three year old has been attending the school since opening, having never attended a pre-school or day care before. As nervous parents, Rebecca, a parent of three herself, instantly put us at ease and our daughter has thrived in the homely environment that she has created. Not only have our daughter’s writing and artistic skills developed but her social skills and confidence have vastly improved. She loves attending school and on the weekends she often excitedly asks “is today a school day?” Rebecca updates us regularly with themes that they are working on, progress reports, and pictures of fun and engaging activities. I can’t recommend Growing Minds pre-school enough.
