Heartland Academy provides a safe childcare environment where your baby will be loved and cared for. Our teachers will work to stimulate your baby’s physical development through hands on play and  exploration.

The weekly Nursery Curriculums will incorporate language, physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

All furniture and children’s toys are disinfected on a regular basis.

At Heartland Academy we feel its an honor to take care of your child and for you to know he or she is being loved and nurtured from their very first day of becoming a part of the Heartland family.
