Welcome to Growing Minds Christian Academy!
Our commitment is to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for your child. To ensure the best experience for our children and their families, we have established the following policies and procedures.
Age Requirements: We accept children from 3 to 5 years of age. Children are required to be 3 years of age by September 15th of the current year to be admitted to Growing Minds Christian Academy. Families can enroll their child in either AM or PM sessions. 3 year olds will only be admitted to the AM session.
Enrollment Process: Growing Minds Christian Academy is open to all children, however, families must align with our Christian values. We have a selective enrollment process that ensures that we are the right fit for your family and your child’s developmental journey. We invite families to submit an application so we can learn more about your child and determine how we can best support their growth in a Christ-centered environment. Following the application, an interview is required.
Orientation: We offer an orientation session for parents and children to familiarize themselves with our staff and facilities.
Hours of Operation: We are open Monday to Friday, from 8:00 to 11:30 AM (AM session) and 12:00 to 3:30 PM (PM session).
Absences: Please inform us by 8:00 AM if your child will be absent.
Late Pick-Up: If you anticipate being late, please notify us as soon as possible. A fee of $1 per minute per child will be charged after 11:35 am / 3:35 pm respectively.

At Growing Minds Christian Academy, the health and safety of our students and staff are top priorities. Daily temperature checks will be conducted a drop off each day. If your child has a fever over 100.4, they will not be able to stay for the day.

Notification of Illness
Please notify the school as soon as possible if your child is diagnosed with a contagious illness. This allows us to inform other families (without identifying your child) and take necessary precautions.
Illness at School
If a child becomes ill during the school day:
Medication: We will only administer medication with a signed authorization form from the parent/guardian and a physician (when required). Medications must be in the original container and labeled with the child’s name.
Children must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school after illness. Emergency contact info must be kept current.
Emergency Procedures: Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our staff is fully trained in first aid and CPR, and in emergency response. We conduct regular safety drills.
At Growing Minds Christian Academy, we believe that discipline is a form of discipleship — an opportunity to guide children in love, helping them grow in character and self-control through the example of Christ.
Our Discipline Approach:
We use positive discipline strategies to redirect behavior and teach appropriate choices, including:
When a child exhibits inappropriate behavior:
Physical punishment, yelling, shaming, or harsh discipline are never permitted.
We aim to help children understand:
“Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.” — Proverbs 29:17
We welcome feedback and are committed to addressing any concerns promptly. Please email jcole@growingmindschristianacademylv.com
Policies may be updated periodically. Parents will be notified of any significant changes.
