Sensory Play Sparks Early Learning & Discovery

Through safe, age-appropriate sensory play, your baby begins to explore the world around them. Soft textures, fascinating sounds, vibrant colors, and gentle movement activities stimulate their developing senses, laying the groundwork for curiosity and early brain growth.

We take care of the essentials so you don’t have to worry. Fresh diapers and wipes are always provided, saving you time and hassle while ensuring your baby stays comfortable, clean, and cared for throughout the day.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

"Their teachers have been very supportive"...

We have been bringing our kids to this daycare for over a year and have seen so much progress with their speech, sign, and language. We’ve been a part of parent-teacher conferences and their teachers have been very supportive. They also use the Brightwheel app so we can keep track of daily activities. Ms. Brown has been amazing in how she operates this daycare.
- Allen Martin – September 2021

"She fell in love with all her teachers and friends..."

My daughter was enrolled at CARE Academy for about a year. She fell in love with all her teachers and friends. Her teachers went above and beyond. I also remember when the owner’s mother met us at our car with an umbrella in the rain to make sure we got into the facility warm and dry! They truly lead with love here.
- Jessica Boutte – October 2020

"He gets lots of personal attention..."

Our son has been going to CARE since he was about 12 weeks old. We absolutely love the director and staff. It’s a small school, so he gets lots of personal attention. They use Brightwheel—an app that tracks updates on diaper changes, meals, photos, videos, etc. He adores his teachers and the director, Ms. Brown. The social skills he’s developed under their care are invaluable.
- McGee Family – October 2018

"She could learn social skills and learn to trust..."

I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Brown, her staff, and C.A.R.E. Academy. I reached out to them late into my first pregnancy, looking specifically for a place where our daughter could build personal relationships in a small, loving setting—and where she could learn social skills and learn to trust her caregivers. Ms. Brown and C.A.R.E. Academy couldn’t have filled this need any better!
- Olsen Family – 2017

"Providing an exceptional level of care for their children..."

"I have toured upwards of 10 childcare centers, and CARE Academy is one of the VERY few that stands out as being truly committed to providing an exceptional level of care for their children—and their families. The owner, Ms. Brown, is so warm and friendly, and she is truly passionate about serving not only children and their families but her staff as well."
- Walker Family – November 2017

"I know she is in excellent hands..."

C.A.R.E. Academy has gone above and beyond my expectations as a childcare provider! They not only keep me up to date on the daily activities of my daughter with summaries and pictures, but I can tell how much time and dedication is put into making sure she is cared for. My daughter adores her teachers—and I know she is in excellent hands!
