Beyond Preschool

It takes a village - and at Windhaven Academy, we’re proud to be yours.

We are more than a preschool. We are a family-centered early childhood community built to support children and parents through the most important developmental years. From the very first drop-off, families feel the difference: warmth, communication, intention, and genuine care.


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.
