A Message from the Principal
Dear Early Learning Academy Families,
We are so excited to begin the 2026-2027 school year! Our staff is busy preparing classrooms and planning engaging lessons, and we truly cannot wait to meet all of our new preschool students starting on August 17, 2026.
We would love for you to join us at our upcoming Open House on Thursday, August 6th, from 5:00pm–7:00pm. This will be a wonderful opportunity for you to meet our staff, explore your child’s classroom, and get excited for the year ahead.
If you have enrollment documents to submit this summer, please stop by or call our preschool office at 270-904-8808. Our summer office hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am-1:00pm.
We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families. Your support and involvement play a vital role in your child's success, and we look forward to working together to ensure this is a year of growth, discovery, and fun for our Fireflies.
We look forward to seeing you at Open House!
Warmly,
Stephanie Paynter
Principal, Early Learning Academy
