Do you use a certain curriculum?

At First Academy, we are committed to the education of children and believe that quality child care begins with careful and thoughtful planning. Our goals are to promote a positive self-concept and to help the child develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.

The Pinnacle Curriculum that we follow encourages the social, mental and emotional development of every child and is designed to engage children in developmentally appropriate learning activities. Weekly lesson plans include art, math & manipulatives, science & sensory, dramatic play, cooking, music, language, as well as physical coordination.

​

What are your rates?

Tuition at First Academy is comparable to all other childcare facilities in the immediate area. We offer full-time childcare, as well as before & after school rates. Additionally, there is a non-refundable registration/curriculum fee assessed annually.

Tuition is to be paid no later than 5:30 p.m. Friday for the following week; a late fee of $5.00 per week will be assessed to all payments made on Monday or later.

We've made payments easy at First Academy. We use the Tuition Express payment system; it is the safest and most efficient way to make child care payments. Parents have the option to make one-time payments by credit card or electronic funds transfer or to set up automatic payments for more convenience. 

There is no discount for holidays. All accounts must be paid to date in order for children to take part in any special activities, i.e.. Free Parent’s Night Out, graduation, field trips etc.
