Franklin Child Care Centers Getting Ready for Spring

Franklin Child Care Centers Getting Ready for Spring
By Parent Marketing Group|

Things are “heating up” in Franklin child care centers at The Academy locations. As a Gold Sneaker facility, The Academy preschools have at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Activities feature classic calisthenics (such as jumping jacks), as well as yoga, hula hooping, and obstacle courses.

But Spring is approaching. And that means warmer weather and more outdoor activities. That’s why our Franklin child care centers are working a little harder on fitness this quarter.

The children are enjoying how much fun it is and how good it feels to really get the heart pumping. But with every physical activity there are also opportunities for cognitive learning. For example, our PreK 3 students learned how to check their own pulse.

Getting Fit for Spring

Fannie Frog Visits Franklin Child Care CentersAll our Academy preschools use the same curriculum. But each location may use different activities to achieve the same curriculum goals. So let’s see how some of our preschool locations are getting the children fit for Spring…

At Academy of Heritage Commons, Fannie Frog is a frequent exercise partner. And the children are teaching Olaf to follow along in fitness class. The teachers said that the children work Olaf so hard that he’s afraid he might melt!

At Academy of Gateway, they are all about movement to music. The children are working on gross motor movements and adding some new movements every day.

Bike Day at Franklin child care centersAt Academy of McKays Mill, the children brought their bikes and scooters to school for “Bike Day.” And, for safety sake, they also brought their helmets!

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.
