A Fun Way to Learn Through Play

At Kids Academy, we provide your children with plenty of time for exploration through play while examining the indoor and outdoor world. This allows your little one to find objects and make observations about the world based on their findings. Teachers monitor the students' playtime, asking questions that inspire additional thought, responses, and positive social interactions. We also discuss healthy food and safety procedures.
