Description: At Cranfield Academy, our mission is to graduate happy children who exhibit a love of learning, show an active curiosity and are prepared for academic excellence. We base this mission on a simple respect for each child's development, allowing them to learn at their own pace through hands-on exploration. Our program builds language and social skills in combination with a strong self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
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.
