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.
