Our Philosophy
At Children’s Academy we are dedicated to providing quality care and education in
a secure and supportive environment.. Our programs encourage a balance of physical,
social, psychological, and intellectual development. Our Educators are given freedom
to draw from their many different backgrounds and curricula to create a varied and
rich experience for the children. Influences can range from the Traditional to Creative
Curriculum to Montessori. We use centers within each classroom, along with large
and small group focus activities. We seek a balance of child-directed activities
and educator-guided experiences.
We believe that open communication and a team approach between parent and school
are the keys to meeting the individual needs of each child. Parents are encouraged
to share their perspectives and concerns, and to develop a close relationship with
their child’s caregivers & educators. By staying mutually committed to doing what
is best for each child, as well as how each one fits into the group as a whole,
we can work together to ensure a positive experience and sense of well-being for
the children and the families.
