Before & After School Care & On Days When Schools Are Closed Or On Vacation!
Dedicated Care You Can Always Count On
Before school, your child can read, play, or participate in group activities before enjoying a nutritious breakfast to kick-start their day. After school, we provide snacks, engaging games, outside time, and a quiet homework area. We offer weekly themes and daily field trips to recreational and educational destinations during school vacation days.
Homework Help Frees Up Time At Home
Experienced teachers provide valuable homework support, helping your child grasp concepts and reinforce daily learning. With their guidance, your little one gains confidence and readiness for future assignments, ensuring continuous academic progress.
YES! We Provide Transportation To & From Local Schools!
Discovery Areas Fuel Curiosity & Creativity
Your little learner explores various discovery areas, nurturing their curious minds and imaginative spirits. From home living, blocks, music, science, and language, each center offers a wealth of learning, fostering independence and growth.
Your child enhances coordination, strength, and social-emotional skills in vast turfed fields and age-tailored play areas. With ample space for active engagement, they build friendships and foster holistic growth in the beautiful outdoors.
Friendships Are Essential For Healthy Development
Your little one learns valuable life skills, like collaboration, conflict resolution, and cooperation, through play and peer interaction. Caring teachers emphasize the importance of social connections, fostering an environment where your child develops and maintains meaningful friendships.
Our son went to Adventure from the time he was 4 months old until almost 2 years old. We loved every second of our experience in both the infant & toddler classes!
Mrs Terri in the infant room was always so gracious and helped ease my new mom anxieties, especially when… read more we started solid foods. She always did everything to make my son comfortable, even if it meant warming his bottles twice because he had strong preferences on milk temperature lol.
The toddler teachers were just as amazing to work with. They always kept my son engaged and shared plenty of pics/videos of all the fun they had in class learning new things. They were all such a huge help in getting my son off of his pacifier when we were ready & made sure to keep things consistent between home & daycare. They also helped us get through some tough separation anxiety, especially Mrs Ashley. She tried various strategies until she found something that worked for my son and made sure to take the time to “show him mama bird” out the window every morning so drop offs went smoothly.
We did try out a different daycare during this period for about a month because we are moving. The new daycare was not at all a good fit for us & the Adventure team welcomed us back with open arms until we could find something more suitable near our new home.
We couldn’t have asked for a better first daycare experience & are sad we couldn’t continue our daycare days with this place!

My two-year-old son has been at Adventure Children’s Academy since he was four months old. He has moved from the infant care room through the three stages of one-year-old care and is now with Ms. Ivory, hands-down one of the best teachers in the state! My son loves her. Their… read more hours are geared toward working parents (you’d be surprised how many aren’t), and I have always felt that my son was safe and his wellbeing prioritized. There have been some learning curves, but I’m not sure how much are simply because of me being new to the daycare system, as my son is my first — e.g., I wish they had given a list of requirements and nice-to-knows during transitions. Like needing hard-bottomed shoes in the one-year room (he wasn’t walking yet, so it never crossed my mind), certain types of lunchboxes and backpacks being approved because of strangulation hazards, and just general information like that, along with info about the new teachers, during transition periods would have been welcome. They did a great job come time to transition to the two-year room: face time with the new teacher and a short convo with time for me to ask questions. All in all, we feel fortunate and blessed to have found Adventure! Plan to stay here as long as we can.

Our family has been part of the Adventure Children’s Academy community for over a year now, and we can confidently say it has been one of the greatest blessings in our child’s early development. This faith-based daycare goes above and beyond to create a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where children are… read more not only cared for, but truly loved and guided.
From the very beginning, the staff welcomed us with open arms. Their warmth, professionalism, and deep commitment to both education and spiritual growth shine through in everything they do.
Ms. Tee is incredibly attentive and intentional, providing structure and creativity while encouraging every child to thrive as the unique individual God created them to be. We’ve watched our little one develop a love for learning, singing praise songs, and talking about Jesus with pure joy.
We also deeply appreciate the consistent communication and updates from the staff. Knowing what our child is doing each day—whether it’s a scripture memory verse, a science activity, or a fun outdoor adventure—gives us such peace of mind.
Adventure Academy is more than a daycare—it’s a true community of faith and learning. We’re so grateful to have found this precious place and look forward to many more years here.

We have a 2 year old and an 8 month old that attend Adventure. We started at Adventure when they first opened when my now 2 year old was 6 months old and from the beginning it has been a positive experience. Since I can’t stay at home… read more with them, I know they are in safe hands while I’m at work. Linda has been open and direct from the beginning about requirements that she has to meet that the state sets but also works with you to find a solution if something can’t be done exactly how you would like it. From a parent perspective and the many conversations we’ve had over the last year and a half, she (and Ms. Kathy) cares deeply for all the kids there and the staff. If adjustments to the classroom have to be made due to illness/absence, she moves teachers not children to help maintain stability for the kids.
The teachers we’ve had so far have been great as well. Ms. Terry, Ms. Sally, Ms. Donna, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Abby and Ms. Raven have all been favorites to help us as we’ve navigated thru each classroom.
If you are looking for childcare that has a biblical heart and staff who love your kids too, Adventure is a great place!

We’re only on our first week here, but I’m already thoroughly impressed! Everyone is super welcoming and nice! There is someone to greet you at drop off and pick up. They’re amazing at giving updates throughout the day on the app. My girl is very selective about her people and… read more on day 2 was already jumping out of my arms for Ms. Donna. It’s obvious they care about the children and are very attentive! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough about the experience my family and I have had since choosing Adventure Academy for our two year old. The facility is amazingly clean and inviting. I am always greeted with a smile and positive attitude. My child is known by name by ALL the staff. … read more The play area is covered allowing for outside play even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. The staff is extremely caring and attentive to the children and go above and beyond to ensure a safe and happy environment. I can go to work each day and feel confident that my two year old is safe,loved, and cared for.

Adventure Children’s Academy is hands down the best childcare center in the area! The teachers are excellent. They are very attentive and compassionate and treat your children as if they are their own. The director (Linda) is very approachable and responsive, always does her best to help you in any… read more way she can! Every morning they greet you as if you are family. The facility is new, very large, secure and clean. They have an app that keeps you informed about diaper changes, feeding, naps, literally EVERYTHING. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for childcare. My boy LOVES it there and I love knowing that my boy is being cared for and taught by top-notch teachers at a fantastic center. Check it out. You’ll love it too!

My son started here the day they opened (roughly 6 months ago). After being at 2 other childcare centers I can truly say you will not find better care for your child. Teachers are the most down to earth people. I have never met directors as honest and respectful as… read more Linda and Megan. There is no center that compares!

My child started at Adventure Children’s Academy earlier this year and it has been the best daycare experience. The teachers really care about the children and they have a wonderful curriculum. I feel great knowing I’m leaving my child with people that love him like I do! I have recommended… read more this facility to anyone looking for childcare.
