2. A Focus on Growth and Development

Unique Programs and Memorable Experiences at The Learning Academy
Parents often highlight the unique programs and activities that make The Learning Academy a joyful and engaging place for their children. Here are just a few examples of what makes our daycare and preschool truly special:
Enriching Activities
“My daughter loves attending The Learning Academy! Playing soccer and water day are her two favorites!!” – Gary M.
At The Learning Academy, we design each month’s activities around an exciting theme, often inspired by seasons, holidays, or educational topics. These themes bring learning to life, making every day engaging and fun. For example, during December, children may create festive crafts for the holidays, while springtime might feature outdoor science experiments to explore the changing seasons.
Special events like water days, soccer, bubble trucks, petting zoos, and pajama day (like in the picture above!) add even more joy and variety to their days. These activities allow children to develop essential skills like teamwork, creativity, and curiosity while ensuring they’re having fun and thriving in our care.
Family Involvement
“They always have family-involved events which are always a lot of fun and my kids really enjoy.” – Brittany M.
We believe that a strong community begins with family. At The Learning Academy, we host a variety of family-involved events throughout the year, giving parents the chance to actively participate in their child’s learning journey. From holiday celebrations to parent-child workshops and other seasonal activities, these events help families feel connected and engaged with our programs.
We also encourage parents to share in their child’s daily successes through live camera feeds with WatchMeGrow streaming, photos, and updates through the Tadpoles app, ensuring you feel part of every step of your child’s development.
Creative Crafts and Keepsakes
“They have sent home cute crafts and it really creates a special memory.” – Johnnah D.
Creativity is a cornerstone of learning at The Learning Academy. Through hands-on craft projects, children express themselves while building fine motor skills and confidence. These projects often tie into our monthly themes, allowing children to create everything from heartfelt Mother’s Day gifts to spooky Halloween decorations.
For parents, these crafts become treasured keepsakes—simple reminders of the education fun your child experiences every day at The Learning Academy.
How Parents Stay Connected and Informed
At The Learning Academy, we know how important it is for parents to feel connected to their child’s daily experiences, even when they can’t be there in person. That’s why we’ve integrated technology and open communication into our approach, giving parents peace of mind and a front-row seat to their child’s growth and development.
Live Streaming with WatchMeGrow
“I mostly enjoy being able to log into their cameras and see what my boys are doing throughout the day.” – Ashley & Paul L.
Our partnership with WatchMeGrow allows parents to securely stream their child’s classroom in real time. Whether it’s circle time, snack breaks, or playtime with friends, you’ll always have a window into your child’s world. This level of transparency provides comfort and reassurance, making it easy to stay involved, even on your busiest days.
Daily Updates with Tadpoles
“They are consistent in sending multiple pictures during the day and updates.” – Brittany M.
Through the Tadpoles app, parents receive daily updates about their child’s activities, meals, naps, and milestones. You’ll also get adorable photos and videos that capture key moments, from a big smile during storytime to mastering a new skill. These updates ensure that you’re always informed and connected to your child’s day, no matter where you are.
Open Communication with Caring Staff
“The staff always greets you with a smile and all seem to love their jobs.” – Johnnah D.
At The Learning Academy, communication goes beyond apps and cameras. Our friendly and attentive staff are always available to answer your questions, provide updates, or discuss your child’s progress.
