Description: Children’s Academy is a privately owned and operated preschool and child development center. We began operation in 1973 and we now have four, 4-Star Centers operating throughout the Raleigh and Cary areas. We care for children from six weeks through twelve years of age. Our child care facilities are state-of-the-art, exceptionally clean, and designed to create an environment that is both educational and socially nurturing. Individual classrooms, low staff turnover, team teaching, and consistent management are just some of our wonderful qualities.
Children’s Academy is committed to providing a safe, happy, and clean environment allowing children to have fun while learning and growing. Our mission is to allow you to go to work feeling secure with our commitment to your child’s care and education. All of our classrooms and playgrounds are monitored with a closed circuit camera system. We have an open door visitation policy for our families, allowing you to come by at anytime throughout the day to observe your child. We use a keypad entry system at all of our locations to ensure the highest security and only giving access to those families enrolled. When you walk into our child care facility you will immediately notice the warm, caring environment and our attention to detail and cleanliness.
In addition to the many programs that our facilities offer, our Oxxford Hunt and Chapel Hill Road facilities in Cary offer the Kidokinetics program. Kidokinetics is an exciting and unique program developed to promote sports and fitness. Children can learn the importance of fitness and begin to develop a healthy lifestyle at an early age.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
