A family-owned school with a simple pledge.
Our philosophy
As a family-owned school, Monarch Children's Academy is committed to providing the highest quality care and best educational experience to the children in our community. We believe each child is unique and has different learning styles, so we balance child-initiated and teacher-directed activities throughout the day.
Our goal is to develop the whole child in a nurturing, loving environment: academically, socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Because family plays the primary role in each child's development, it is our pledge to work together as a team of administrators, teachers, and families to promote the well-being and self-esteem of each child.
Our teaching team
Our team is hand-selected for their education and expertise in early childhood. All of our lead teachers hold Child Development Associate credentials or Bachelor's degrees. Every staff member passes rigorous background screening (local, state, and FBI) before their first day, and each teacher is First Aid and CPR certified.
Our Director and many of our teachers are fluent Spanish speakers, so families are welcome to communicate in Spanish.
Playgrounds and garden
Throughout the day you can walk past one of our five expansive playgrounds and see babies being pushed in our "Bye-Bye Buggy", a child planting in the garden, swinging, or riding a tricycle. From babies through school-age children, outside time plays a vital role in developing gross motor skills. Children visit the playground every morning and afternoon.

Graduate with Monarch
We are proud to be an APPLE (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environment) accredited school and hold the State of Florida's Gold Seal Quality Care designation. Our Pre-K and VPK classrooms prepare children for the next stage: solving problems on their own and communicating with verbal and written skills.
