About Custis Care Academy
Our Mission
Custis Care Academy’s mission is to focus on high-quality early childhood education, building strong partnerships with families and communities, and promoting social-emotional learning and school readiness. We utilize a curriculum that is aligned with the Department of Education's standards and best practices for early childhood education, focusing on all areas of child development (social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language).
Custis Care Academy ensure that staff are well-trained and have a certification/degree, with a focus on early childhood education and child development. Staff create a safe, stimulating, and engaging learning environment that supports children's exploration and discovery and implements regular assessments to monitor children's progress and adjust instruction accordingly.
Custis Care Academy actively involve families in their children's learning by providing regular communication, opportunities for parent-teacher conferences, and workshops on child development. We partner with local organizations and resources to enhance children's learning and development. Our scholars work closely with local schools to ensure a smooth transition for children entering kindergarten.
Our Philosophy
Custis Care Academy takes a holistic approach to early childhood education. At the core of our philosophy, we believe that each child is unique and therefore deserves individual attention and care. Because of their innate curiosity, it is up to us at Custis Care Academy to develop suitable activities based on our observations of each child.
Our curriculum reflects this comprehensive and highly individualized approach. Kids are divided into different groups during one part of the day to provide them with developmentally appropriate activities. At other times, children of all ages play together to learn from one another - the younger ones as learners and the older as role models.
In addition to the basic skills required for a lifetime of learning, Custis Care Academy imparts values such as creativity, self-reliance, compassion and respect for diversity. To achieve this goal, it is essential for us to work closely with you, the parents, to provide the best possible situation for your children.
Founder & Owner
I am the proud Founder & Owner of Custis Care Academy. I am a proud mother of four successful young adults. Three of my children are college educated and one is a self employed independent contractor.
I have been caring and nurturing my own children, neighborhood and community kids for almost three decades.
I have been working in the medical field for the past twenty two years but my lifelong dream was to open a top quality childcare center. My goal is to help nurture the children of our future.
Custis Care Academy is much more than a babysitting service. We are a family friendly oriented establishment and our top priorities are to provide education, quality care, nutrition and positivity in a clean, safe and loving environment.
