Helping Growing Minds Grow

Every Child Has the Capacity to Grow

Growing Minds Educational Services was founded on a simple belief: children deserve support that recognizes both their strengths and their individual learning needs.

Founded by educator and literacy specialist Samira Mourad, M.Ed., CAS, Growing Minds began by providing individualized literacy instruction and educational support to children and families.

As the needs of our families have grown, so have we.

Today, Growing Minds is developing into a collaborative educational center where families can access experienced educators and specialists providing individualized instruction, small-group learning, educational assessment, family consultation, and specialized services.

Our Approach

We believe effective educational support should be:

Individualized — Instruction begins with understanding the learner.

Evidence-Based — Educational decisions and instruction are informed by research and effective practices.

Explicit — Students benefit from clear teaching, modeling, guided practice, and meaningful repetition.

Collaborative — Families, educators, and specialists each bring valuable knowledge about a child.

Encouraging — Children need a place where mistakes are part of learning and progress is recognized.

Small by Design

Growing Minds intentionally maintains small instructional settings.

Our group programs maintain a maximum 1:5 educator-to-student ratio, allowing educators to provide meaningful feedback and individualized attention.

Growing Skills. Growing Confidence. Growing Minds.

Our goal isn't simply to help a child complete today's assignment.

We want students to develop skills, strategies, independence, and confidence that continue to support them long after they leave a session.
