Early Learning Academies

For many of us, summer brings to mind the memories we formed in summer camp. At Early Learning Academies, we are so proud that our national network of childcare centers host a wide variety of fun summer camp activities to help children learn about the world around them and form lifelong memories! #ECE #Summer #Camp #EarlyChildhoodEducation

At ELA, our centers are really proud of the work they put into their gardens. Growing food is a great way to introduce our little learners to foundational scientific concepts while gaining an appreciation of nature. In Washington, the students at Kid's Country love seeing how big their plants are getting! #ECE #EarlyChildhoodEducation #STEM

We are so proud of the team at Creative Playrooms Solon in Ohio! They earned a 5-star rating from the Step Up to Quality program through the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. 5 stars means the team not just met but exceeded licensing health and safety standards while providing quality care that leads to improved outcomes for children. Great work, team!

As any Center Director will tell you, good Assistant Directors are more valuable than gold. We're thrilled to announce that our Assistant Directors of the Year are Jazmin Ramos in Pennsylvania and Ashley Byrge in Ohio! #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ECE

Here at ELA, we are so lucky to have so many great Center Directors throughout our national network of childcare centers. We're thrilled to announce our Director of the Year: Lisa Needham from Kids Discovery in Gulf Breeze, Florida! #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ECE

When thinking of the qualities of healthy leadership, it's easy to overlook love. We think this particular quality has the ability to inspire a work culture where employees feel genuinely valued, safe, and heard. We asked our very own Katie Worsley for tips on how to lead with love.

It's easy to focus on the intellectual and social aspects of #EarlyChildhoodEducation, but we must not forget the importance of including physical development in the #ECE classroom! We loved this article on fostering physical development in learning: https://bit.ly/3UYZWmW

It was such a treat to see how teachers were celebrated by their schools and communities for #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Here are some highlights of the celebrations from throughout our national network of childcare centers. #EarlyChildhoodEducation #ECE

Our #EarlyChildhoodEducation teachers work tirelessly to make the Early Learning Academies network of childcare centers a safe and nurturing environment for young learners. How can we show our #ECE professionals just how much we appreciate them each day? We asked our very own Amanda Panian, Center Director of The Devine School in Pennsylvania, for tips. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
