Our Programs

From Infants to School-Age—We’re With You Every Step

At The Children’s Academy, we’re committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and educational environment where every child can thrive. We understand that each stage of childhood is unique, and our programs are thoughtfully designed to meet the evolving needs of children from infancy through school age. Whether your child is just beginning to explore the world or preparing for elementary school, our goal is to support their development with age-appropriate learning, compassionate care, and structured routines.

Our experienced and accredited staff create classroom environments that encourage curiosity, independence, and a love of learning. Through individualized lesson plans, hands-on activities, and positive reinforcement, we help children build the social, emotional, and cognitive skills they need for long-term success. At every step of the journey, we’re here to provide guidance, support, and meaningful learning experiences that help each child grow with confidence.

Our Programs

  • Trust your baby with loving, attentive care in a calm, enriching setting. Our infant room is licensed for seven children and led by two accredited, WV Infant/Toddler (WVIT) trained teachers. Each child receives individualized weekly lesson plans and quarterly assessments to track developmental progress. We also partner with WV Birth to Three to offer on-site therapeutic services for eligible children needing additional support.

  • Our toddler classroom promotes independence and discovery in a safe and stimulating space. Licensed for eight children with two WVIT-trained teachers, this program uses The Creative Curriculum to introduce early cognitive, motor, and social-emotional skills. Individualized lesson plans and quarterly assessments help guide each child’s development in a warm, supportive atmosphere.

  • In two small-group classrooms, our two-year-old program focuses on hands-on learning, peer interaction, and self-help skills like potty training. Each room supports eight children and is led by two trained teachers using the Creative Curriculum. Weekly age-appropriate lesson plans, interactive play, and regular evaluations ensure a well-rounded learning experience at this important age.

  • We proudly collaborate with the Northern Panhandle Early Head Start Program to enhance our infant, toddler, and two-year-old classrooms. This partnership brings additional benefits like curriculum enhancements, weekly safety checks, extra staff training, and developmental assessments through Teaching Strategies GOLD. Eligible families may receive supplies such as free diapers, wipes, and formula, plus referral and support services.

  • Our private preschool program for three-year-olds introduces a full day of structured learning and play. Two classrooms serve ten students each, led by accredited educators. Using a combination of Frog Street and the Creative Curriculum, children participate in daily group activities like Music and Movement, Circle Time, and hands-on learning centers focused on literacy, math, science, and motor skill development.

  • In partnership with Hancock County Schools, we offer a state-approved Universal Pre-K program for four-year-olds. Families benefit from a full public school curriculum delivered onsite—with no need for transportation—and wrap-around care available before and after class. Led by certified Early Childhood Education teachers, this program is highly sought after and maintains a full enrollment and annual waitlist.

  • Our school-age program provides flexible care before and after school, as well as during full-day holidays and summer break. We serve students from Weirton Elementary, St. Paul, St. Joseph, and Weir Middle School, with daily transportation provided through Hancock County Schools. Licensed for 15 children, the program offers recreation, meals, snacks, homework help, and enriching age-appropriate activities.
