Unlike some daycare centers, we have an educational curriculum that starts in our infants’ classroom.
From age one. Children participate in various activities throughout the day, some of which are messy or athletic, and play outdoors daily, weather permitting. Because of this, it’s our policy that children must wear their My First Academy polo from Monday to Thursday. Additionally, no open-toed or open-backed shoes are allowed. The most appropriate shoes for participation in school activities are rubber-soled sneakers with socks.
Yes, we require all teachers to be First Aid- and CPR-certified.
Per the Department of Children & Families, My First Academy staff have three background screenings: local, state and FBI.
Generally, we begin potty training at two years old. However, in some cases, we start sooner.

"A place you can truly trust"

As a first time mom, it is so difficult to find a place you can truly trust and consider family. My daughter has been with MFA2 for almost 5 months and loves it. It was a hard transition for her (and me) but everyone at the school made it much easier. I have visited numerous schools and nothing compares to MFA2. Everyone is so involved and friendly from the teachers to administration. I am so grateful for such an amazing school and Ms. Maria, the owner.

"The whole staff is amazing"

I really could not ask for a better daycare to take my little man to! The whole staff is amazing and they take really great care of my baby. I know this because his entire face lights up every morning when he see's his teacher!! They keep me updated all day through their app - when he eats, has a diaper change, what artwork they did today, and when he play's outside. I'd love to be at home with him everyday, but since that isn't an option, I'm greatful that I have these wonderful people to care for my son.

"Their facility was so clean!"

Being a 1st time Mom was very hard for me to leave my son in any daycare. When I I found My First Academy I felt at ease that this was the right place for my son. Their facility was so clean, organize and very kid friendly. Also, I wasn't looking for just a daycare, I also was looking for a place for my son to learn and MFA also teaches the children everything related to their age and prepare them for Kindergarten.

"The teachers and staff are always so helpful"

MFA is a great learning center for kids. My daughter Laila has been attending MFA since she was just 2 years old. By the time I knew it she was already potty trained and her vocabulary had broadened up. She is now 4 and in the VPK class with Ms. Velez and Ms.Dani. The teachers and staff are always so helpful and always open for communication.The school is always clean and well organized. I highly recommend MFA to all parents looking for an awesome pre-school.

"We knew our precious angel was In great hands"

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am that My first Academy exists. When looking for a daycare to take care of my daughter, my wife and I were very nervous to leave our daughter anywhere. The staff and teachers at My First Academy immediately made us feel like family. We knew our precious angel was In great hands. My oldest is now in Kindergarten and is WAY ahead in her studies. She even helps the teacher teach some of the materials to the class and this is all due to the excellent teachers and staff at My First Academy!!
