Educational Childhood development
Welcome to The Academy
Welcome to The Academy: Educational Childhood Development, where we believe that children learn and grow best within the nurturing embrace of a family-like environment.
At The Academy, we understand the profound impact early childhood experiences have on a child’s future. That’s why we are dedicated to providing a well rounded approach to education that encompasses not only academic development but also social and emotional well-being. We recognize that each child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and pace of development. Our programs are designed to cater to these individual needs, fostering a love for learning while nurturing self-confidence and empathy.
Beyond education, we believe in the importance of community. The Academy: Educational Childhood Development is more than just a place of learning; it’s a place where families come together, support one another, and grow alongside their children. We encourage parent involvement and open communication to create a seamless partnership between home and our center.
Giving back to the community is a core value at The Academy. We actively seek opportunities to contribute positively to the neighborhoods we serve, whether through charitable events, community partnerships, or hosting educational classes. By instilling a sense of social responsibility from a young age, we aim to empower our children to become compassionate, engaged citizens of the world.
Join us at The Academy where every child is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to thrive. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, exploration, and lifelong learning.”
Our Mission Statement
At The Academy we believe in the value and uniqueness of each child. Our childcare experience is designed to promote each child’s own individual social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. As teachers, our mission is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate learning environment, which fosters a child’s natural desire to explore, discover, create, and become a lifelong learner.
Our Philosophy
Our program is built around the concept that children are born ready to learn. As teachers, we strive to create a learning environment that is safe, stimulating and encouraging.
How Children Learn Best
Relationships
Through relationships with caring adults. When children feel secure, they learn to regulate their emotions, and become curious, confident, communicators.
Opportunities
When they have opportunities for play and active exploration of their environment. A sense of wonder is a powerful foundation for children’s learning.
Communication
When adults in their lives learn and plan together for their growth and development. When parents and early educators communicate well, they can best support each child to reach their full potential.
Healthy Habits
When they are healthy, safe, well rested, and have regular balanced meals. Basic needs must be met in order to learn. Adults guide and support their lifelong healthy habits.
At their own pace
In their own unique ways, on their own timeline. The rate of development varies for each child, and learning may be uneven over time, or across different learning domains.
Community
When they are supported by their communities. When the community supports children’s growth with access to high quality early learning opportunities and family supports, the health and well-being of children thrives.
