About Us
About Us
Welcome to Nurturing Developmental & Learning Academy (NDLA). A NAEYC accredited facility. We offer a quality curriculum in a caring Christian environment. We strive to provide a warm, safe, and loving environment for our children. Our goal is to educate students to become productive citizens who demonstrate creativity, critical reasoning skills, self-esteem, self-respect, as well as respect for others. Students who value excellence in education as a lifelong process can achieve success in partnership with their home, school and community. NDLA is a place where your child can grow, mature, and develop through experience and exploration from the environment around him/her.
Educational Excellence
Educational excellence, unwavering dedication and outstanding child care. Those are the values that NDLA stands for.
Demand for daycare facilities continue to grow day by day, but all too often, institutions are only able to focus on either allowing the child to enjoy their childhood and develop naturally or forcing the child to focus only on mental development in order to achieve high test scores later on in life.
NDLA is Different
We promote physical activities in large open areas and a wide variety of educational games, but we also have a small library and various arts and crafts for your child to unleash his or her full creative and intellectual potential.
Our goal is to promote every child’s development individually using an appropriate mix of academic and recreational activities.
