OUR programs

We respect each child’s individuality and plan the day around our little people’s uniqueness. We are mindful of your child’s first time away from home and offer caring, nurturing and love in a home like safe and healthy environment. A daily report is given to inform you of developmental milestones and of your little one’s progress. Toddlers learn and grow by discovering and exploring the world around them. Our toddlers’ program is designed to offer activities that foster learning, language development, sharing, self-help skills and socialization in a fun atmosphere. "Warmth and nurturing is key."

Preschool is where socialization and curiosity are fostered to build self confidence and love for learning. Children are given choices as they work in learning centers, remembering that a child's work is play and that "play is the foundation for learning" Special guests are invited to support our themes throughout the year. We welcome community helpers like our firefighters, canine police unit, search and rescue helicopter unit, veterinarian and nutritionists to name a few.

Summer Fun in the Sun is the best at VCA! During the summer months our thematic weekly programs offer fun filled days for our children. A few of our Summer Camp offerings every year are:

We believe in Parents as Partners and welcome volunteer parents on field trips, to share hobbies, or to read to the children during our Thursday afternoon story hour. We encourage parents and grandparents to participate in our academy and classroom activities. We welcome and appreciate birthday moms, library moms , newsletter moms, classroom moms and any other such volunteers.

Viera Children's Academy puts reading first. “Reading maketh the full man.” Our Early Phonics reading program will be sure to foster a love of reading and a healthy respect for the power of books. We encourage parent participation in reading a book a day with their child. VCA implements Creative Curriculum® which is the country's leading assessment, program planning and reporting system for children from birth to 5 years of age. You can learn more about Creative Curriculum® at their web site www.creativecurriculum.net.

Children are sponges at an early age. It is proven that children grasp a foreign language with early exposure and tend to speak a new language easier than adults. With that in mind, our children will be introduced to Spanish in the daily curriculum. Private Spanish lessons along with American Sign Language is offered. VCA has teachers on staff that fluently speak Spanish and use American Sign Language in classrooms.
