About Us

Your Child Is in Great Hands

Philosophy

At Children's Prep Academy we believe that children thrive better in integrated settings that involve the teamwork of the children themselves, their parents, and their teachers.

Our philosophy involves open communication between parents and teachers in a safe and stimulating daycare environment.

We believe that providing a safe and stimulating environment will lay the foundation for your child’s intellectual and emotional growth.

We believe ongoing communication between parents and teachers are essential in providing the best care for your child.

We welcome questions and suggestions regarding your child’s activity, nutrition and development. Parents are always welcome to visit the Center no matter what time of day to visit their children.
