Description: The mission of Christina Nicole Academy is to provide children with the academic skills necessary to succeed in higher education. To build self-confidence and encourage children to achieve the highest goals.
The Christina Nicole Academy will work to achieve this goal by continuing to deliver a comprehensive range of innovative educational, health, and development programs to pre-school children and youth.
At the heart of our approach in the quest for quality pre-school education and "Getting our children over the academic bar" is the critical need to form partnerships between parents, teachers, and the community.
We will collaborate actively with management, teachers, parents and communities to explore new and creative methods of teaching and acquiring resources for children's educational success. It is our goal to produce champions! in school.
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.
