About Early Learning Adventures at Jaymes Academy in Smyrna
We are a community child care center based in Smyrna. We care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join kindergarten.
Our curriculum covers everything your child needs to excel! From literacy and math to music and movement, to science and social skills. We nurture academic and personal success, all the while promoting a fun atmosphere that gets our young adventurers excited to learn!
Our philosophy is based on learning, fun and service. Our core values are at the center of our teaching: love, kindness, service, fun, education and inclusivity. We prepare children for academic and personal success. We strive to teach children about unconditional love. We demonstrate kindness, compassion and gratitude to our children through our everyday interactions with them and daily prayers.
By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms and environments in a home-away-from-home environment, we can create a space where children feel empowered, excited, and ready to learn.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as values, emotional intelligence and building friendships.
Who We Are
CEO, Ms Angie’s passion to care for young children and setting them up for success drove her to design and build a center that focuses on creating a warm, home-away-from-home environment that offers the highest quality care and educational experience.
Our teachers serve our families with love and kindness to create a fun, equal and safe atmosphere where educational opportunities and adventures thrive.
Ms Angie has a master’s degree in child development and family studies and has over 30 years of child care experience. She has used this collection of knowledge to design a unique building that focuses on the children and teachers. The building offers a range of facilities such as a teacher's lounge, a teacher work area, wide open playgrounds and indoor play structures.
At Early Learning Adventures at Jaymes Academy, we value love, kindness, service, fun, education and inclusivity. These core values alongside our educational curriculum help to nurture well-rounded and successful children.
