Early Learning Academy
About our School
Who We Serve
At Early Learning Academy we serve approximately 300 children ages 0 to 5-years-old. We have several programs to meet the unique needs of our students: infant classes (in which parents attend and participate with their child), speech and language therapy/Language Group (two hours per week); inclusion classes (where students with and without disabilities learn and play together); and 2-day or 4-day self-contained classrooms for students who require a higher level of support. We are passionate about working together with Early Learning Academy families to meet the needs of all of our little learners!
Early Learning Academy prides itself for being unique in that we are the only MVUSD site dedicated to providing infants and preschoolers with specialized services and programs based upon their individual needs. We strongly believe that early intervention is key to future success. As such, we focus on teaching children “Learning to Learn” skills (such as following a classroom routine, attending to teacher-directed tasks, participating in classroom activities…) and foundational skills required to be successful in the elementary setting. Student safety, academic success, and emotional wellbeing are our top priorities each day at school!
