At Hometown Academy, we believe childhood is more than a stage — it’s a foundation. Our mission is to create a safe, engaging, and inspiring environment where children ages 1–5 can explore, learn, and grow through the power of STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
We know that early learning experiences shape a child’s confidence, problem-solving skills, and love of discovery for years to come. That’s why every part of our day — from playtime to snack time — is intentionally designed to spark curiosity, build friendships, and prepare children for the adventures ahead.
Our Service Offerings
Early Explorers (Ages 1–2)
Our youngest learners are busy discovering the world through their senses. In a warm, nurturing environment, they enjoy safe sensory play, cause-and-effect toys, and early social interaction. STEM comes to life through texture exploration, simple sorting, and activities that encourage observation and gentle experimentation.
Young Innovators (Ages 3–4)
At this stage, curiosity is boundless — and we channel it into hands-on discovery. Children engage in building challenges, nature walks, and beginner science experiments that encourage them to ask questions and find solutions. Play-based learning blends with early literacy, number sense, and social–emotional growth to create a balanced foundation for school readiness.
Pre-K Pioneers (Ages 4–5)
As they prepare for kindergarten, our oldest students take on exciting challenges that combine academic readiness with creativity and problem-solving. Age-appropriate coding tools, engineering projects, and STEM station rotations inspire teamwork and independent thinking. Along the way, we nurture leadership skills, self-confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
