Welcome Message

Welcome to Kiddie College Campus Academy! My name is Don, and I founded this enriching and inclusive educational environment. At Kiddie College Campus Academy, we are passionate about providing exceptional care and early education for children from newborns to 13 years old. Our mission is to create a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere where every child can flourish and reach their full potential. We have stringent safety and security measures in place to ensure your child's well-being.

In our view, education is not just about imparting knowledge—it's about guiding each child on a meaningful journey of growth and discovery. We believe in crafting engaging and creative learning experiences that prepare children for a successful future. Our approach integrates fun with learning, fostering curiosity and critical thinking in a supportive setting. Your child will not only learn but also have a great time doing so.

Building trust with our families is a fundamental aspect of our work. We understand that selecting your child's educational environment is a significant decision. We are committed to establishing and maintaining this trust through open communication, transparency, and a genuine dedication to meeting each child's unique needs. We value the strong partnerships we develop with families and work closely with them to ensure their involvement and satisfaction.

Our connection to the community is equally important. A strong community enhances the educational experience and provides valuable resources and opportunities. By partnering with local organizations and businesses, we enrich our programs and extend our support network to benefit our children and their families.

At Kiddie College Campus Academy, our commitment is to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and inspired.

Our Philosophy

WE BELIEVE IN PROVIDING CHILDREN WITH AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FOSTERS A SECURE AND COMFORTABLE FEELING. WE THEREFORE OFFER AN ACTIVITY-BASED CURRICULUM WITH THE GOALS OF ENCOURAGING CREATIVITY, AUTONOMY AND EXPLORATION. EACH CHILD IS VIEWED AS A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL PROVIDING ENHANCED SELF-IMAGE BY MAKING CHOICES, ENJOYING EARLY SUCCESS EXPERIENCES AND HAVING SOCIAL INTERACTIONS. THE CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED TO QUESTION AND EXPLORE AND TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE CORRECT ANSWER TO MOST PROBLEMS. THE TEACHER’S ROLE IS TO OBSERVE RECOGNIZE AND PLAN FOR THE DIFFERENCES IN THE CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT AND TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN’S GROWTH TOWARD INDEPENDENCE. EACH TEACHER WILL ACT AS A FACILITATOR AND GUIDE MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM.

True courage empowers us to stand up for our beliefs, take risks, and embrace challenges, knowing that growth and transformation often lie just beyond our comfort zone. Through courage, we discover our greatest potential and inspire others to do the same
