Description: Since 2004, the highly educated and trained Heritage Children's Academy staff has been dedicated to providing children with a solid foundation for emotional, physical, social and cognitive learning. Each family can be assured that we will develop a strong partnership and work together to guarantee the best care for your child. Our developmental curriculum provides each child with the ability to explore and discover a variety of educational activities to progress at their own pace. We embrace the philosophy that every child is a unique individual and requires individualized care and attention.
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.
