THIS WAS NOT YOUR TYPICAL OPEN HOUSE.
On May 17, 2025, families from across Las Vegas joined us for EXPLORE!—a hands-on, faith-filled celebration of learning. From creative play and STEM exploration to music, movement, and meaningful connection, every moment reflected the heart of Growing Minds: immersive education that nurtures the whole child.
Whether you came to learn about our school or simply enjoy a day of fun, we’re so grateful you chose to experience the magic with us.
Relive the day in the video below—and see what makes our school community so special.
And if you missed it this year… don’t worry. We’re already dreaming up what next year’s EXPLORE! will bring.
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL OPEN HOUSE.
We believe that learning should be fun, immersive, and nurture the whole child!
This event is for EVERYONE! Come EXPLORE and see what Growing Minds is all about! Whether you’re interested in enrollment, or just coming out for a day of immersive fun, we can’t wait to EXPLORE with you!
Join us for EXPLORE! — an immersive, joy-filled event where learning comes to life! This is not your typical open house. At Growing Minds Preschool & Academy, we believe in education that is creative, engaging, and deeply connected to real-world experiences. That’s exactly what families will experience at this special event.
What to Expect
Get ready for a day of discovery at EXPLORE!
Bring the whole family for a free, hands-on experience filled with creativity, play, and learning at every turn. Kids will journey through exciting stations like Build-Your-Own Pizza with Math Toppings, Doughnut Decorating, Jewelry Making, Bubble Art, and STEM Discovery Labs.
Step into imaginative play at our When I Grow Up Photo Booth, splash into our Imagination Pool Party, and enjoy live performances by talented young dancers, singers, and musicians.
Local businesses and community partners will host interactive booths designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and real-world learning—plus, don’t miss the Book Nook Reading Lounge and other surprise activities throughout the campus.
Pick up your event passport at the Growing Minds table and collect stamps as you explore each immersive experience together!
Step Into a Day at Growing Minds
We’re offering immersive campus tours every 30 minutes — but these aren’t your average walk-and-talks. At Growing Minds, learning is active, joyful, and full of discovery, and your child will experience that from the moment the tour begins.
Each tour is designed as a “Day in the Life of a Student,” where children are invited to explore real classrooms, dance to music, dive into hands-on activities, and see just how fun learning can be. While your child plays and participates, you’ll learn more about our values, programs, and what makes our approach to education so different.
Tours are divided by age group:
• Preschool (9 months–5 years)
• Academy (Kindergarten–8th Grade)
Once you arrive at EXPLORE, you can sign up for a tour at the Growing Minds table in the courtyard. We recommend arriving early to secure your preferred time — spots fill quickly! Whether you’re exploring early childhood or looking ahead to middle school, this is the perfect way to experience the heart of Growing Minds — together.
