M1 Kids Academy is a Licensed Preschool with Extended Care, also offering infant care up to before/after school for Elementary ages.
Our teachers, many with over 5 years experience, are carefully selected for their professional qualifications, passion for early childhood education, and alignment with our center's values.
We have an amazing food program that offers breakfast, lunch, and healthy snack that meets government nutritional guidelines.
We are a highly-rated Step-Up-to-Quality Center.
Our newer facilities are frequently updated, including two gymnasiums and separate outdoor playgrounds for toddlers and preschool and up.
A ministry of M1 Church, the M1KA was launched in 1970, over 50 years ago, desiring to impact and influence families and their young children.
M1KA has been designated as an Inclusion Child Care Program.
Curriculum Advantages
We utilize a research-based curriculum that aims to provide children with a strong foundation in their early learning years while teaching them about the love of Christ, viewing play and lessons through a Biblical lens.
M1 Kids Academy supplements language and literacy with the Read It Again Curriculum.
We seek out the latest in educational advancements. Your child would have had the opportunity to participate in the LENA GROW program to promote language development.
