Our Holiday Focus at The Academy

Our Holiday Focus at The Academy
By Parent Marketing Group|

November was the start of two very busy months of the year for everyone. It’s no different for all The Academy centers in and around Nashville. During November, our day care and preschool centers focused our children’s attention in four directions:

  • Giving to the Community
    preschools child care day careAt the Academy, we believe that children are never too young to learn about helping others by giving. During these two months, our centers are reaching out to their communities by collecting canned goods and food for organization like Second Harvest and coats for One Warm Coat.
  • Being Thankful
    Many activities at The Academy during the month of November revolved around being thankful. Teaching children the importance of thankfulness is a great counterbalance to the consumer-mentality that is so pervasive in our environment today.
  • Learning about Thanksgiving
    The students loved learning about the pilgrims and Thanksgiving traditions. Of course, there was no spate of turkey-related crafts. And, our children even made their own pies.
  • Delighting in Family Time
    At the Academy, we are one of your best cheerleaders for spending time together as a family. One of our yearly family activities at our centers, is Thanksgiving lunch. This is a time when parents, grandparents, and extended family can come to enjoy lunch with our students. In the spirit of thankfulness, we say “thank you” to all those who were able to attend this year.

Helpful Answers for Families Choosing The Academy

These FAQs share clear details on enrollment, daily routines, learning programs, safety, and what to expect once your child begins at The Academy.

What ages do you accept?

The Academy offers early learning programs designed for children from infancy through Pre-K. Each classroom is built around age-appropriate routines, developmental milestones, and learning goals that support growth at every stage. Children receive the structure they need to feel secure while still having the freedom to explore and learn through play, hands-on activities, and teacher-guided instruction.

We use the Frog Street curriculum to provide consistent learning across classrooms and age groups. This curriculum supports early literacy, communication, motor development, and social-emotional skills through structured themes and purposeful activities. Our teachers follow curriculum-based lesson plans while also adapting the day to each classroom’s pace, helping children stay engaged and supported as they make meaningful progress.

Yes. Enrichment programs are included in tuition and offered throughout the week. These sessions add variety and excitement to a child’s routine by introducing creative activities, movement, cultural exploration, and age-appropriate science experiences. Enrichment helps children build confidence, discover new interests, and stay motivated by adding new learning experiences beyond the core classroom schedule.

Strong parent communication is a key part of a successful childcare experience. Families receive updates through our communication system, which may include daily reports, photos, and important notes about meals, naps, or classroom moments. Our team aims to keep families informed, reduce surprises, and create consistent support between home and school throughout the year.

Safety is a top priority at every Academy location. Our centers follow structured protocols for drop-off and pickup, classroom supervision, and daily accountability. Staff are trained to maintain safe routines and consistent classroom expectations while supporting children in a calm environment. During a tour, families can learn more about entry procedures, classroom organization, and how we prioritize safety every day.

The easiest way to schedule a tour is by submitting the tour request form on our website. Once we receive your information, a team member will follow up to confirm availability, answer initial questions, and help you choose the best program for your child’s age. Tours are a great time to explore classrooms, learn about daily routines, and better understand the Academy experience.

Before your child starts, our team will share a simple list of items based on your child’s classroom and age group. Most families bring labeled supplies such as extra clothing, diapers or pull-ups if needed, wipes, and any approved comfort items. Teachers will also guide you through routines for drop-off, communication updates, and what to expect during your child’s first few days.
