High quality educational services are provided to children ages 2 weeks through 12 years concentrating on the areas of social and emotional development, language, literacy, math, social studies, science and creativity. Our early education program is child oriented and the curriculum is individually developed to meet the specific needs of each child. This facility operates year-round monday through friday from 6am until 6 pm. This allows parents to seek and hold employment while their children are being cared for. Education for adults is also available both as mandatory and optional services. Upon enrollment, each parent is mandated to participate in a course offered by the academy on child abuse, educational milestones and sids/shaken baby syndrome (for parents of infants and toddlers). Monthly optional parent educational courses are provided by the academy staff on various topics.
