About the Provider

Description: The Philosophy of the Brookland Academy Child Development Center is based on the belief that each child is a worthy individual endowed with certain unique capabilities and talents. All children are given opportunities to learn in their own way while pursuing their own interests and having their individual needs met. We accept each child as they are and help foster their growth and development into a responsible, independent, and caring person. We will strive to make all children more aware of the world around them through activities and experiences aimed at social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive development. We understand the importance of providing the opportunity for children to participate in group and individual activities, noisy and quiet times, large and fine motor physical activities, and time for observation to develop problem solving and listening skills. We further believe that children need to have space to explore within a safe, nurturing and encouraging environment.

Disappointed 2019-09-04 13:37:36
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The teachers at the facility have been great but the teacher turnover is extremely high! The director is super messy and personally involves herself in personal matters she shouldn't. She and her staff talk poorly about parents on ABC vouchers and parents that are behind in payments as they walk down the halls to pick up their children or as they are leaving the building.
