Our Story

Welcome to Early Foundations Learning Academy, a premier preschool and childcare center located in Crestview, FL. Since our establishment in 2022, we have been dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Our mission is to lay the early foundations for lifelong success by fostering intellectual curiosity, social skills, and emotional resilience in every child.

At Early Foundations Learning Academy, we understand the importance of creating a supportive space for both children and parents. That’s why we offer parent webcams, enabling you to stay connected and enjoy peace of mind while your little one learns and plays in a secure setting. Our facility is thoughtfully designed to feel like an extension of your home—where every child feels valued, encouraged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

We take pride in being a Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) provider, offering high-quality programs that prepare children for success in kindergarten and beyond. Our curriculum blends play-based learning with structured educational activities to encourage exploration, creativity, and cognitive development. From hands-on science discovery to language-rich story time and guided early math skills, every moment is an opportunity to ignite enthusiasm for learning, build critical-thinking skills, and foster meaningful peer connections. We prioritize balanced, age-appropriate instruction that allows children to learn naturally through curiosity, movement, and imaginative play.

Our offerings extend well beyond the traditional classroom experience. We provide nutritious breakfast and lunch options carefully selected to give children the energy and nourishment they need to stay focused, active, and healthy throughout the day. Our afterschool programs are designed to support busy working families by offering a safe, supervised environment filled with engaging enrichment activities, social skill building, creative play, and optional homework assistance. Children enjoy opportunities to collaborate with friends, participate in interactive games, explore arts and crafts, and develop responsibility and academic confidence—all under the guidance of caring professionals.

When school breaks arrive, our summer programs and seasonal camps offer exciting educational and recreational opportunities that keep children growing throughout the year. Our camps feature themed learning weeks, outdoor activities, creative projects, team-based games, movement-focused play, and social engagement that reinforces core developmental skills. We also proudly offer convenient transportation services to help families with school pickup and camp travel, making your childcare experience more streamlined and stress-free.

The heart of our center is our passionate and experienced childcare staff. Trained in early childhood development and committed to compassionate care, our educators prioritize individualized attention, emotional support, positive reinforcement, and strong parent communication. We strive to build trusting relationships that help children feel secure, confident, and capable of learning new skills. Every child brings unique strengths and needs, and we meet them where they are, guiding them forward with patience, encouragement, and joy.

At Early Foundations Learning Academy, we believe early education and exceptional childcare can shape young minds, nurture strong character, and inspire a lifelong passion for learning. We invite you to join our community—a place where connection, discovery, and care come first. Together, let’s build the foundation for a brighter tomorrow.

Testimonials

On 11/13/2025 Holly Mitchell had this to say:
We have had the honor of bringing our children to this facility for 7 years now. It took what felt like ages to find a center where we felt comfortable leaving our children. Since day one the staff have loved our children . They know both of them, even my husband and I by name. Yes, even the staff that aren’t in their classes daily. That provides a sense of security. I am dreading the day our youngest can’t go here anymore. My kids have always loved showing up for school and the staff have helped with all of the milestones. (They have even help document some of them with photos and artwork). I can say for a fact you will not regret using this facility to help care for your child!!

On 11/1/2025 Callie Fraser had this to say:
This is our first year at Early Foundations and we love it! From the ladies at the front desk that greet everyone with a smile and a hello to the teachers who always greet the children everytime they walk through the door, everyone is kind and welcoming. My son loves his teachers which always makes it easier to drop him off knowing he’s in the hands of people who care about and love him!
