Young Minds Day Care Center

As a 3K and pre-K program, Young Minds does not participate in state ELA or math assessments, so there are no proficiency scores to compare against district averages. The academic program focuses on early literacy, social-emotional development, and school readiness skills appropriate for 3 and 4-year-olds.

Teacher survey responses show exceptionally high marks — 95% rate instruction quality as good or very good, 89% express trust in the principal, and 85% report strong collegial relationships among staff. However, only 9 teachers completed the survey, so these figures represent a very small team and should be interpreted cautiously. There is no discipline or attendance data reported because early childhood programs track engagement differently than K-12 schools.

This early childhood center serves families with 3 and 4-year-olds in a neighborhood that skews highly educated (71.5% of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher) and affluent (median household income of $118,733). The population is predominantly owner-occupied (39.3% homeownership) with relatively few households with children (13.5%), reflecting the area's young professional demographic. As a universal pre-K site, the center is designed to be accessible to all eligible families in the district.

Clinton Hill is a desirable Brooklyn neighborhood with excellent subway access (88th percentile transit score), tree-lined streets, and access to Fort Greene Park. Safety scores are moderate (35th percentile), with typical urban considerations for a busy corridor. The area has a strong education orientation (83rd percentile), reflecting the demographics of residents who prioritize schools. Median home values exceed $1.1 million, indicating a high-cost housing market.

The center is located on a major Fulton Street transit corridor with multiple subway lines nearby, making it highly accessible by subway and bus. Street parking can be challenging during peak hours.
