Our Programs

Infant Program

Currently, our infant department is licensed for 10 children age six weeks to 18 months. This classroom provides skilled, highly experienced staffing and provides an exceptional level of primary care. The Frog Street Infant/Toddler Curriculum is utilized for all children. Frog Street offers individualized lesson plans unique to the needs and skills of each child in this classroom. Continued development is documented, allowing our staff to work directly with your child to accomplish growth and milestones. The staffing ratio is one adult to five children.

Toddler 1

Our Toddler 1 Classroom is licensed for 14 children, age 18 months to two years old. This classroom introduces a daily schedule with detailed and structured activities. Children are introduced to circle time, language and literacy, social/emotional exploration, and center-based play. The staffing ratio within this department is one adult to seven children.

Toddler Two

This classroom is home to our two to three-year-old children. We can accommodate 14 children with two staff members. Children are exposed to a pre-preschool curriculum supplemented by The Creative Curriculum, an Ohio-approved curriculum. Special emphasis on potty training and the acquisition of self-help, social/emotional success, and independence skills is a priority. Our curriculum is supported by quarterly assessment and evaluation of continued development.

Three and Four-Year-Old Program

The Children’s Academy offers an exceptional preschool program. We believe that our young learners benefit from smaller environments that local public school preschool programs cannot offer. Accredited preschool staff utilize The Creative Curriculum along with Teaching Strategies Gold. Children are offered extensive lesson planning in areas of Cognitive, Language/Literacy, Math/Science, Small and Gross Motor Development, and Social/Emotional Concepts. Your child will leave our preschool programming ready for kindergarten!

School-Age Program

The location of our building is a perfect fit for all of our school-age students. We can accommodate children in kindergarten through middle school via all Steubenville City Schools, Indian Creek Public Schools, and Bishop Mussio School. Children can depart and arrive at our center with doorstep service via bus transportation. School-age children receive daily breakfast and snacks along with a specific school-age curriculum that offers recreational play as well as homework assistance. We also accommodate your child in the event of a school delay or weather-related cancellation. Check out our Summer Rec all-day programming for a fun, structured summer camp experience!
