About Us

At Akamai Kids Club Preschool, children enjoy a loving environment that fosters positive feelings of self-worth and respect. Social, physical, intellectual development, and a sense of independence are gained through opportunities to make decisions and problem solve. While limits are clear, a great deal of emphasis is placed on role modeling, thus teaching tools for conflict resolution. The ability to have a friend, be a friend, and manage in the group setting is highly valued, as is a stimulating environment which provides opportunities for children to interact with each other and learn more about themselves.

We have taken comprehensive steps to continually ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our student members. Keeping our student learning center safe allows children to look forward to being in an encouraging environment that promotes academic, social and creative learning.

We aim to cultivate self-motivated learners who are eager to explore and discover new knowledge. By fostering a love for learning, we encourage children to become passionate about their education, laying a strong foundation for their future academic endeavors. Moreover, we promote critical and creative thinking, nurturing their problem-solving abilities and encouraging innovative approaches to challenges.
