Whether you call it childcare, daycare, preschool, early learning, or something else, the programs at Learning Paths Academy offer early learners a nurturing environment that fosters positive growth and development. We say “more than daycare” because we aren’t just watching your child; we’re engaging them in experiences and activities to help them thrive! The Baby Steps and Toddler Explorers programs provide nurturing and stimulating environments for infants and toddlers, promoting early cognitive and social skills. For two- and three-year-olds, the Preschool Explorers program fosters independence and curiosity through hands-on learning. Our schools also offer before and after school care to support working families, and select locations have Montessori programs and Junior Kindergarten to prepare children for academic success as well.
Baby Steps: Infant Daycare
The Baby Steps program provides infants with a nurturing environment that supports their emotional, physical, cognitive, and social development through responsive caregiving and individualized learning experiences. Teachers use play, reading, music, and sensory activities to encourage language, motor skills, and early brain development while building strong bonds with each child.
Toddler Explorers: Toddler Daycare
The Toddler Explorers program provides one-year-olds with a nurturing, engaging classroom experience that supports their growing independence and curiosity. Through small group care, responsive teaching, and thoughtfully designed spaces, toddlers explore, create, and develop socially, emotionally, and physically.
Preschool Explorers
The Preschool Explorers program introduces two-year-olds to a preschool setting where learning is inspired by their natural curiosity and growing independence. Through theme-based activities, small group experiences, and engaging lesson plans, children build social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills.
PREP - Preschool Readiness Enrichment Program
The Preschool Readiness Enrichment Program (PREP) helps children smoothly transition from early preschool into full school readiness with a strong focus on social, emotional, and academic growth. Through inquiry-based learning, technology integration, STEM activities, and Spanish enrichment, children build critical thinking and communication skills.
Montessori
The Montessori program for ages three to five nurtures each child’s potential in a warm, supportive environment where they learn at their own pace and gain confidence as independent learners. With specialized Montessori materials, mixed-age classrooms, and hands-on experiences in math, literacy, arts, cultural studies, and practical life skills, children develop creativity, problem-solving, and a strong academic foundation while fostering independence, self-motivation, and respect for others.
Junior Kindergarten
The Junior Kindergarten program prepares children for success in kindergarten through inquiry-based learning in literacy, math, science, and social studies. Enrichment in STEM, Spanish, and service-learning fosters problem-solving, language, and community awareness. With a focus on social, emotional, and physical development, children gain confidence, independence, and readiness for the next stage of their school journey.
Youth Zone: Before / After School Program
The Youth Zone program offers school-age children a safe, engaging space before and after school where they can complete homework, build friendships, and explore interests through clubs, creative projects, and sports. With a focus on independence, social growth, and enrichment, students enjoy nutritious meals, outdoor play, and personalized activities.
