About Windhaven Academy in Plano, TX
Windhaven Academy is a family-centered preschool serving children from 6 weeks through 10 years old. We provide high-quality early childhood education, childcare, and enrichment programs designed to support not only children, but the families who love them.
From infancy through Pre-K and beyond, our programs are intentionally crafted to nurture confidence, curiosity, independence, and a genuine love of learning. We believe childcare is a partnership, and parents deserve transparency, communication, and peace of mind every step of the way.
Our Story
Windhaven Academy was founded by Assia Mahmood, a mom of two, 5-star rated Amazon author, and passionate advocate for modern parenting. Like many parents, Assia experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find childcare that truly aligns with your values - where your child is deeply cared for and you feel genuinely supported as a parent.
She envisioned something more than traditional preschool.
Windhaven was created as a warm, intentional space where children feel safe to explore, educators feel valued and empowered, and parents feel confident, informed, and connected. Every decision - from curriculum to nutrition to communication, has been shaped through the lens of a parent who understands what truly matters.

Our Philosophy
At Windhaven Academy, we believe early childhood education should honor the whole child-mind, body, and heart.
Our philosophy is built on:
Connection before instruction, ensuring children feel safe and seen
Purposeful play as the foundation of meaningful learning
Social-emotional development as essential to long-term success
Respect for each child’s individuality, pace, and voice
By blending structured learning with child-led exploration in a nurturing, home-away-from-home environment, children develop confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of discovery.
What We Believe
Our curriculum and daily routines emphasize empathy, kindness, respect for others, and respect for the world around us.
Children thrive when they feel emotionally secure
Learning should be joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate
Strong communication builds trust between school and home
Families deserve a true partnership, not just a drop-off experience
Early education lays the foundation for future academic and personal success
