About Us

Our Philosophy

At Quarks Academy, we build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Our caring team of educators celebrates each child’s unique way of perceiving and interacting with the world around them. We create a loving space for them to express their individuality and explore interests. Our STEM-principled curriculum promotes hands-on play essential for critical thinking and problem solving development.

While we understand the importance of academics for our next generation of innovators, we believe it is equally important to nurture a child’s emotional and social development. A keen understanding of being part of a larger whole and empathy for others are the pillars we rely upon during our exploration of concepts such as feelings, conflict resolution and self-awareness.

Curiosity and Community

Quarks Academy serves families in our community with children ages 6 weeks to 5 years.

Research has shown us there's a big difference between memorizing and understanding. Our curriculum focuses on nurturing your child's natural sense of inquiry rather than rote memorization. This is how we create life-long learners. By using personalization during instruction and a learn through play approach, we relate lessons to the real world around us leading to greater knowledge retention.

While language arts has typically dominated early childhood education, we believe even our youngest learners can engage in meaningful scientific exploration. Our goal is to demystify science and make our students realize that everything they do and everything they see IS science…we are already scientists!

As part of our STEM-principled curriculum, we embrace technology as a powerful teaching tool in the classroom. Technology is simply the way of the future so we seek to teach healthy screen habits from the start. We use Promethean ActivPanel smartboard technology in our 3-5 year old classrooms which enhances the traditional learning experience in an impactful way. It allows us to craft multimedia lessons, go on virtual field trips, play interactive games, and it gives our teachers opportunities to dive deeper into topics than planned when students are highly engaged in a lesson.

Our professional chef prepares fresh, kid-approved lunches as well as morning and afternoon snacks in our campus commercial kitchen. Music, engineering, dance, and meditation are just a few of our rotating extracurricular activities that will provide new interests for your child to discover.
