Everything we do is centered around our children and the families who love them. These early years are magical, formative, and fleeting - and we believe they deserve more than routine care.

At Windhaven Academy, children are supported in expanding their comfort zones in ways that are safe, secure, and highly individualized. Through intentional play, nurturing relationships, and a thoughtfully designed environment, children build confidence, curiosity, independence, and a love of learning.

Windhaven Academy is proudly mommy-owned and independently operated, founded by Assia Mahmood - mom of two, 5-star rated Amazon author, and passionate advocate for modern parenting. As a parent herself, Assia understands exactly what families are looking for: trust, communication, flexibility, nutritious food, and peace of mind.

Our approach is rooted in:

  • Empathy, kindness, and respect

  • Social-emotional development and emotional regulation

  • Child-led exploration guided by intentional teaching

A STEAM-Inspired, Play-Based Learning Approach

Learning at Windhaven Academy is joyful, hands-on, and meaningful. Our STEAM-inspired curriculum supports cognitive growth, creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking - all through purposeful play.

Children explore:

  • Science, engineering, and discovery through hands-on experimentation

  • Early math and logic through games, building, and pattern work

  • Creative arts, music, and movement

  • Language, literacy, and communication skills

  • Social-emotional learning using Conscious Discipline® strategies

  • Spanish and music enrichment included in tuition

By nurturing the whole child - intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially - we help children develop confidence and curiosity that lasts a lifetime.
