Your Child Is in Great Hands

Philosophy

We embrace a philosophy of education that combines a loving, warm learning environment with a challenging Lean to Green academic program. Our school addresses each child's individual developmental needs through play-based learning. Our curriculum and daily experiences provide each child with opportunities for a fun, green, and enriching environment. Upon completion of our program, we believe that your child’s well-rounded experiences will provide them the necessary strengths for emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and academic growth.

Health & Safety

Sugarland Learning Academy's top priority has been the health and safety of our families and staff. Our school has always had rigorous health and safety protocols in place since our opening. The protocols include:

​

  • Persistent hand washing by children and staff, such as before and after meals, after coming in from the outdoors, after activities, after using the restroom and etc. These frequent times for hand washing times are immersed into our curriculum and daily schedules.

​

  • Frequent disinfecting and sanitizing of toys and surfaces on a daily basis.

​

  • Early closure to allow staff to deeply disinfect and sanitize

​​

  • Daily cleaning of school by cleaning personnel​ after hours.
