Philosophy

At Educare Academy, we aim to foster a love of learning and exploration in a nurturing, secure environment. Throughout all of our classrooms, our play-based approach to learning cultivates an environment that focuses on the whole child and their physical, emotional, and cognitive needs.

Using Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, a comprehensive, research-based curriculum, we help children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical-thinking skills. As a part of the curriculum, Educare Academy promotes social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive skills development in our classrooms.

Teachers

The importance of quality teachers cannot be overstated. In addition to their warmth and sensitivity to the needs of young children, our teachers and assistants are carefully chosen for their experience and training in the fields of early childhood education and child development. Continuous education and participation in early childhood organizations help our staff stay abreast of the latest developments in childhood education.

As a fully licensed childcare center, our teachers are all trained in First-Aid and CPR and have undergone state background checks.
