Description:
Little Genius Academy was established in 2008 to provide your child with a strong foundation of values and a love of learning. At Little Genius Academy we offer quality early childhood education for children ages 3 - 5 years.
Our program focuses on the child as an individual and as part of a group. It is designed to aid in the development of your child's intellect as well as the physical, social and emotional skills that create good working and social habits during your child's early learning years.
The well being of your child is very important to us. As the proverb goes: "It takes a village to raise a child." At Little Genius Academy, the administration, teachers, and parents work as a team to meet the child's needs and concerns.

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.
