Welcome

Viera Children's Academy is an 11,000 square foot State-of-the-Art early learning center housing approximately 150 children. We are open Monday through Friday from 7am to 6:30pm.

At VCA, whether enrolled full time, part time or in the VPK program, your child will receive the very best in early learning education with a well rounded age appropriate curriculum. AT VCA, We boast an excellent child to staff ratio. We believe in parents as partners and welcome volunteers on field trips, to share hobbies, or to read to the children during our Thursday afternoon story hour. Our curriculum also offers exposure to shapes, colors, numbers and letters, as well as Spanish as a foreign language.

The center employs a qualified staff who meet the criteria as experts in early childhood development. Parents will be able to leave their children at VCA with confidence and peace of mind. We partner with families, Viera, and Brevard County to bring in other needed programs which will enhance early childhood development.

We Believe:
• Early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, and security!!
• Children need a safe, nurturing environment in order to develop to their full potential i.e., emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically.
• Each child is unique and should be encouraged and challenged to develop at his or her own pace.
• Children need to learn positive ways to resolve conflict.
• Discipline should be positive, not punitive.
• Children learn through play and age appropriate activities.
• Child care professionals should always maintain a sense of humor.

Accreditations:

Viera Children's Academy is proud to have a Gold Seal accreditation through A.P.P.L.E! Gold Seal accredited centers are held to much stricter guideline compared to those centers who do not hold an accreditation. The accreditation process requires each school to meet specific quality standards in areas such as interactions among teachers and children, staff to child ratios, developmental appropriateness of the curriculum, staff qualifications, health and safety, and administration. It also requires schools to undergo a validation process to verify their compliance with APPLE guidelines which may be more stringent than state licensing requirements.

Our Curriculum:
Along with High-Scope® , and Creative Curriculum®, our curriculum follows the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practice established by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
