Every child’s potential becomes a reality.
We’re here to help you thrive
Welcome to Growing Nurtured Minds, where every child’s potential becomes a reality. We are a compassionate community dedicated to empowering students and families through a holistic approach to education, personal growth, and resilience.
Our Mission
Growing Nurtured Minds empowers diverse learners to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially through personalized support, innovative strategies, and a nurturing environment.
Our dedicated team combines evidence-based approaches such as Orton-Gillingham, cognitive training, and social-emotional learning (SEL) to help each child unlock their unique potential. By fostering resilience, building confidence, and cultivating lifelong skills, we prepare students to succeed in school and flourish in life.
Our Vision
At Growing Nurtured Minds, we envision a future where every student—regardless of their learning differences—has the tools and confidence to excel in education and life. As a premier educational center in New Jersey, we strive to be recognized for our expertise in social-emotional learning (SEL), executive functioning, academic support, and specialized interventions for students with challenges like dyslexia.
We aim to build a compassionate community where students embrace their unique strengths, overcome challenges, and grow into self-assured, capable individuals who make meaningful contributions to society.
Our Unique Approach
At Growing Nurtured Minds, we combine expertise in social-emotional learning (SEL), academic support, and cognitive skill development to empower students to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Our integrated approach ensures that each student receives personalized strategies tailored to their unique needs, helping them thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Specialized Academic Interventions
We specialize in supporting students with learning differences, including dyslexia, through evidence-based methods such as:
Orton-Gillingham for Dyslexia: Our certified Dyslexia Therapist uses this proven, multisensory approach to improve reading, writing, and spelling skills. By engaging multiple senses—sight, sound, touch, and movement—Orton-Gillingham helps students build literacy skills while fostering confidence and independence.
Comprehensive Academic Support: We also focus on core academic areas like reading fluency, math problem-solving, and writing while teaching students essential study skills, organization, and time management.
Cognitive Skill Development
Through our partnership with COGMed and SMARTS, we provide personalized cognitive interventions designed to enhance key learning abilities. These include:
Memory: Strengthening working and long-term memory to improve learning retention.
Attention: Improving focus and minimizing distractions to maximize productivity.
Problem-Solving: Encouraging critical thinking and creative approaches to academic challenges.
The program is grounded in neuroscience, ensuring lasting results and equipping students with the cognitive tools they need to achieve long-term success.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
We partner with Breathe for Change, a leader in SEL and mindfulness training, to ensure students develop emotional resilience and self-regulation skills. By integrating SEL into our academic and cognitive programs, we help students build confidence, manage stress, and foster positive relationships.
A Holistic Approach to Growth
Our team consists of a multidisciplinary group of professionals, including a School Psychologist, a School Social Worker, a Learning Disabilities Teacher Consultant, and a Dyslexia Therapist. This diversity allows us to address each student’s academic, emotional, and social needs with sensitivity and care.
Our approach doesn’t stop at the individual student—we also work with families and schools across New Jersey to promote inclusive educational practices. Whether we’re helping students manage executive functioning challenges, develop emotional resilience, or achieve academic success, Growing Nurtured Minds is committed to preparing students for a bright future.
