Brown Academy

BROWN Academy's Mission is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate learning and recreational environment, where educators and families work cooperatively to foster the development of each individual child in meeting their full potential. Provide an enriching and stimulating curriculum, as well as safe, high quality child care.

Our spacious campus encompasses over 13,000 square feet under air, as well as over 10,000 square feet of outdoor learning environments and playground space. Although we group our students according to their chronological age, we understand that children develop at their own pace and therefore, each of our fourteen indoor learning environments are specially designed and equipped to meet a wide range of developmental levels.

Parents have the flexibility to create a schedule that works best for them and their child by selecting a two, three or five day program and choosing the hours needed from a wide range of options. This matches the State of Florida's Public School guidelines making for an easy transition to elementary school.

Our toddler program prepares children 18 months old to 2 years of age to begin their educational journey! Some of the characteristics used to describe this age range include; egocentric, territorial, possessive, boundless energy, use the word "NO" often, and little to no concept of sharing.

However, these children also desire to be independent, are eager to try new things, are curious about the world around them and are easily distracted and redirected.Since, at this age "play is their work", our curriculum focuses on meaningful verbal rich interactions with adults, as well as providing lots of repetition of hands-on, visual and auditory experiences to build memory development.

Our preschool program is designed to prepare children ages 3 to 4 years old for our prekindergarten program. Characteristically, this age group is usually very sensitive, often less coordinated and more physically awkward, and tends to overreact and misinterpret ordinary acts as threatening.

However, children at this age are also beginning to accept a delay in gratification, are willing to try more than one strategy to accomplish a task, understand shared ownership and are usually willing to try anything once.This is due to the extraordinary brain growth that takes place during this stage of development.
