  • At Due West Academy we understand the importance of your decision to entrust us with the care and education of your child.
  • Our Philosophy & Curriculum

    Children learn best by doing, and our philosophy is to use a developmental “hands-on” approach built around weekly or monthly themes.  During each week we address all areas of development:  Social, Emotional, Physical (gross and fine motor), Cognitive and Language Development. Lesson plans are prepared weekly and posted in or outside of each classroom.  There is a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities. 

    DWA uses the GELDS program with our youngest students, 6 weeks-24 months. This is a program that is research based and developmentally appropriate.  Using this framework, our teachers are able to teach in the ways that best match the way in which we know young children develop and learn. Our teachers are well versed in basic sign language and begin teaching our students at 6 weeks

    Our Curriculum infuses the efforts of the GELDS but also allows for diversity in the classroom.  Children will explore, challenge, and create with our approach to learning.  Ages 25 months-Preschool participate in daily classroom activities as well as some beneficial extracurricular.   We offer Soccer, Dance, Tumble Bus and Music for a nominal fee.  We are a non-discriminating organization and infuse cultural differences in our classroom.

  • TESTIMONIAL
    ” My son attended DWA for preschool and we had the best experience ever! When I had my daughter, 6 years later, I called DWA to get information on the infant room and after all those years, they still remembered exactly who my son and I were. I knew then, that was where I wanted to send my daughter. I went in for a tour and realized that the majority of the staff that worked there when my son attended, still worked there. That was so comforting to me and showed what a fabulous place it still was. I was so anxious about sending my infant to daycare after staying home with her for almost 6 months but it has been such a great experience for us all. She smiles so big when she sees the ladies welcoming us at the door each morning and she is still smiling when I pick her up each day. DWA is just like a little family and I could not be happier with both of the experiences we have had there! I recommend DWA to everyone I know! Absolutely the BEST daycare around! “
