Let Them Play- Soccer Shots visit

 At The Academy, we believe that play is more than just fun—it’s how children learn, grow, and thrive. From building teamwork to practicing problem-solving, every game and giggle is helping our little ones build important life skills. That’s why our theme this week was “Let Them Play.”

We had an extra-special treat when Soccer Shots came to visit! The children had a blast running, kicking, and learning new moves from the coaches. Their faces lit up as they dribbled, chased the ball, and celebrated each small victory. It was wonderful to see how play not only strengthens bodies but also builds confidence and joy.

Lets Build!

This summer at The Academy, our preschoolers put on their hard hats and big imaginations for Let’s Build Week! From tiny towers to giant pretend bridges, our classrooms were buzzing with creativity, teamwork, and plenty of giggles.

Rockin' into Kindergarten: The Final Tour

We celebrated a milestone that is both exciting and bittersweet: our Pre-K kiddos took the stage for their final preschool performance before they head off to kindergarten!

With big smiles and a few happy tears, families gathered to watch as our Pre-K students rocked their hearts out during their end-of-year celebration. From fun songs to silly dances, each child shined in their own special way, showing off the confidence and skills they have developed throughout the year.

It’s hard to believe how much they’ve grown—from the shy, curious explorers they were at the beginning of the year to the confident, kind friends they have become today. As teachers, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing them stand proudly in front of their families, ready to take on their next adventure.

We couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them.
They are ready to take on kindergarten with courage, joy, and curiosity, and we know they will continue to shine as they grow.

To our families: thank you for sharing your children with us and trusting us to be part of their early learning journey. To our Pre-K graduates: keep rocking, keep exploring, and keep being YOU. Kindergarten, here they come!

Parent Night Out- Summer Edition

 Summer just got a whole lot more exciting at The Academy! Our recent Parents Night Out – Summer Edition was a huge success, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share the highlights from this special evening hosted by the ever-amazing Ms. Tamia and Ms. Alyssa.

While parents enjoyed a well-deserved break, our students were treated to a night filled with sunshine vibes, laughter, creativity, and connection. Here's a peek into what made this summer-themed night so unforgettable!

Patriotic Parade

 The Academy was filled with red, white, and blue as we celebrated the 4th of July with a festive Patriotic Parade! It was a joyful sight as our little stars proudly rode their decorated bikes and scooters around the school, waving flags and smiling big.

A huge thank you to our wonderful parents who helped transform each child's ride into a rolling work of art—covered in streamers, balloons, and all things sparkly and patriotic. The creativity and love poured into each decoration made the event extra special.

Our parade was filled with music, laughter, and lots of cheering from classmates and teachers. It was a heartwarming reminder of the joy that comes from community and celebration.

Squeezing in some outside time

 As the days stretch longer and the sun climbs higher, there’s a tiny window of gold—those early summer mornings and late evenings—where being outside still feels like a treat rather than a test of endurance. Before the heat keeps us indoors with the AC cranked and curtains drawn, now’s the time to sneak in some precious moments of outdoor living.

An Outta This World Magic Show & Sweet Moon Pie Surpris

 This week at The Academy, we blasted off into a universe of wonder with an Outta This World magic show! The kids were amazed as our special space-themed magician dazzled with tricks that defied gravity and sparked imaginations.

After the show, everyone enjoyed a sweet surprise—a classic Moon Pie treat! Sticky fingers and smiling faces all around made it a day to remember. 🚀💫

Fun, laughter, and a little bit of magic—just another stellar day at The Academy!

 Summer fun is in full swing at The Academy with our much-anticipated Water Days! Every week, students trade their classroom shoes for swimsuits and sandals.

Water Days are more than just fun—they’re a chance for sensory play, teamwork, and building summer memories that last. With safety and smiles as our top priorities, it’s one of the most exciting parts of the season!
