How The Children’s Academy Came to Be

In January 2002, Christine and Robert Rosnick opened The Children’s Academy in Weirton, WV. Their mission was to provide the Weirton community with an education-based, comprehensive child care center. They expanded on their overwhelming success with the opening of our Wintersville facility in November 2011. The Children’s Academy continues its distinguished reputation as an established child care center in the Ohio Valley region that is respected for its longevity and quality services.

Where Early Learning Begins

Give your child a strong start at The Children’s Academy, where we provide nurturing child care and preschool programs beginning as early as six weeks old. Our child care center offers a safe and fun learning environment where children can play, make friends, and get started on a positive educational journey.

Both of our centers, Weirton and Wintersville, are fully accredited and staffed by compassionate educators who are committed to open communication with families and delivering a high-quality early education experience.

We’re open Monday through Friday, from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and we work with local school districts to accommodate morning and afternoon bus routes for elementary and middle school students. Our school-age program includes meals and snacks, active play, and time for homework—supporting kids before and after their school day.

Many of our families begin with us in infancy and stay through the middle school years. We’re here to grow with your child every step of the way!

"My family has been involved with The Children’s Academy for over eight years. The teachers have become family. They have seen us through so many of life’s changes/challenges. Their overall support and care is of the highest quality."
"I am blessed that I can go to work knowing that my children are safe and receiving the best quality care and support possible. The teachers love and provide for my children as if they were their own. The Children’s Academy truly has been a blessing to my family and me."
"We have been a part of The Children’s Academy family for the last several years, and they have cared for both of our sons. We would 100% recommend The Children’s Academy to any family looking for child care options in our area!”
"You know that you are a part of something special when your eight-year-old daughter has consistently told others since the age of three that she is going to grow up to be a teacher at The Children’s Academy."
"The amazing teachers at The Children’s Academy have become our family. They have grown with us during every new phase in our lives, and their support has been tremendous."
"Best decision ever! The Children’s Academy is not just the daycare provider for my children, but they have become family. The care received is of the highest quality."
