Communication
Thriving Minds puts great emphasis on communication with parents. We have adopted the Himama app for communication purposes between parent, teachers and the classroom. All classrooms are equipped with their own teacher IPADs to facilitate communication with parents throughout the day, by sending daily reports, reminders, pictures and lesson overviews.
Himama is a secure application which is not publicly accessible and is password protected. Parents will gain access only to their child's classroom. Parents will receive daily pictures of their child and their child's active involvement with their peer group. Parents are encouraged to ask questions throughout the day utilizing this tool, and can expect to receive reminders such as:
The himama system is also used for attendance management, scheduling and reporting along with digital daily sheets outlining meals, naps, and other fascinating information in Real-time photo, video and SMS text updates to parents.

Safety Issues
What could be more important than the safety of your children? Peace of mind comes with knowing your child is safe and protected within our campus. We have a locked down facility, access is gained through a personalized key fob which is issued to parents who have actively enrolled children. There is intercom in the entry area vestibule to verify identification of visitors. We have a strict sign-out policy, which requires proof of ID, and verbal phone call verification from parents, when a relative or approved guardian may be picking up your child. Furthermore, we have cameras that buffer footage to capture outdoor playground, front door, hallways and other areas necessary for coverage. It's important to note that Key Fobs are deactivated once parent has withdrawn.
