A Little About Us

Divine Minds Early Learning Academy is located in Muskegon, MI. We are a child-centered/play-based program. We are an extension of Divine Minds Family Childcare located at 2216 Hoyt St. Muskegon Hts. MI 49444. Divine Minds was established in the year 2020 due to a passion for children and a need the owner was experiencing for her family and other families in her community.
Here at Divine Minds Early Learning Academy we encourage children to reach their highest potential. We do this by supporting children with love, dedication, observation and awareness during times of exploring their own interest in a safe learning environment. Each child will be engaged when making choices, sharing thoughts, ideas and experiences with classmates and teachers. Scholars will learn skills that they will carry for life. Skills like collaboration, decision making, resilience, patience and creativity to name a few. School aged children will have opportunities to join in with small group tutoring, cooking experiences, self-care education and learning daily life skills that are appropriate for each age level. We believe growth only happens when the family is secure and whole. Our mission is to support parents as well with finding employment, utility assistance programs, housing, higher education and free community event information.
