We take pride in our history!
The Academy is an Owner Operated and Directed facility. The owner and director, Lana Eddins Walton, takes pride in telling prospective parents about the longevity of her staff. She also is quick to list the ways that her school helps give children an advantage, when they finally enter elementary school. Much of this is due to staff who have worked at the school for years, the weekly lesson plans teachers are required to submit, the rotation of stations and a strict curriculum and schedule that classes follow each day.
We are proud of the fact that we are able to retain our staff for long periods of time.
