Young Child Academy, an early childhood development program previously located for over 20 years in Lower Queen Anne, is opening a new location in South Lake Union. When their building in Queen Anne was sold in 2022, they relocated to Greenwood after being unable to find another suitable location in the Queen Anne area. They are officially opening on Jan. 6 and are excited to be a part of the vibrant Queen Anne/South Lake Union community again. Young Child Academy enrolls students ranging in ages from Infant (5 months+) to Pre-Kindergarten (5 years).
Young Child Academy aims to promote learning by providing a developmentally appropriate program that balances play with structured learning opportunities. Emergent literacy is nurtured through a language-rich curriculum that uses quality literature to engage learners and encourage phonological awareness. Involving students in dance, drama, music, and art has a positive impact on brain development. Therefore, YCA incorporates daily arts-based activities to cultivate student creativity, while developing an awareness and appreciation for the visual and performing arts. Daily foreign language and culture classes expose our students to new opportunities and skills at a time when they are most receptive.
They are currently open for enrollment and have immediate openings in the Infant and Toddler classrooms. Their new location, 214 Minor Ave N, Seattle WA 98109, is conveniently situated near many large employers in the South Lake Union area. Hours of operation are from 7:00 am to 5:45 pm. They provide virtual tours as well as in-person tours of the new facility. Visit, youngchildacademy.com or email them at info@youngchildacademy.com for more information.
