Mind-Builders Creative Art Center — Local services in New York

My son attended "Mind Builders" in the year of 2020. At first, the staff seemed to be very patient, kind, caring, and ready to serve the children's needs. But, when my son was be bullied by another boy in his class and decided to defend himself for the first time, Ms. Desireene took my son by the arm with great force and slightly twisted it. After this incident, Ms. Desireene brought it to my attention with hopes that I would speak to my son about behavior in the classroom. When my son and I left, he apologized and said he was sorry for his behavior, not mentioning the part about the bullying due his level of fear towards Ms. Desireene. It wasn't until the pandemic, when my son was at home with me , did he explain what really happened and why he chose not to say anything. The school itself has great programs and staff members, but as long as Ms. Desireene and Ms. Brittany are the instructor for that one classroom.. I wouldn't recommend this...

I started mindbuilders 32yrs ago when my children were5 n 11. My son took piano n drums n went on teach drums their under Mr Walter Granberry. My dsughter took all dance classes n went on to teach African Dance classes for 4 years. I volunteered there for 16 wonderful years We are family. Was thete when we purchesed the building thatvis ther now. You not ask for a better place for your childten to attend. The love, talent, Culture learning is phenominal. A safe enviorment. My grandson now...

my younger sister use to go to mind builders in the 90's and when my daughters ages 15 & 11 showed a passion for dance I thought about this school. To my surprise it was still around and newly improved. the process was easy to enroll and the staff and dancers accepted my daughters with open arms. From this program I see a big difference in my girls: courage, self worth, take charge attitudes. my girls cant wait for this new semester to start. I highly recommend...
