Igniting Curiosity, Cultivating Character
A Legacy of Nurturing Young Minds
At Children of Light Academy, nestled in the heart of New Port Richey, Florida, we embark on a journey of exploration, discovery, and faith-filled learning. Guided by a deep-seated passion for early childhood education, we have been privileged to empower young minds for over three decades.
Nurturing a Love for Learning
Inspired by the wisdom of Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it, " we prioritize an environment where curiosity and imagination can flourish. Our meticulously crafted curriculum fosters a love for learning through interactive exploration, hands-on discovery, and creative play.
Empowering Holistic Development
We believe in nurturing the whole child - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our dedicated educators guide young minds in their social, emotional, and academic progress. Using engaging age-appropriate activities and programs, we:
- Nurture language and literacy: Instilling a love for reading and language through immersive storytelling and vocabulary development programs.
- Cultivate social skills: Fostering teamwork, empathy, and respect through interactive group games and collaborative activities.
- Promote physical development: Encouraging movement and exploration through outdoor play, gross motor skills development, and structured physical activities.
- Spark creativity: Inspiring young minds through dramatic play, art exploration, and open-ended projects that unlock their boundless imaginations.
Guided by Faith and Values
Our Christian faith is an integral part of our learning environment. We believe in nurturing young hearts and minds by:
- Instilling a strong sense of values and character-building principles.
- Guiding children towards a personal connection with God through faith-based activities and teachings.
- Providing a safe and supportive space where children can explore spiritual questions and develop a sense of faith.
