Caring Hearts Academy
Caring Hearts Academy is a licensed childcare facility that offers child care and preschool services in South Hill, Virginia.
Our mission is to provide childcare that meets the needs of both the child and family in a safe, spiritual educational environment, while “building” confident, caring learners who are ready and eager to embrace their educational journey. We care “a whole awful lot” and strive to make our world brighter, one hug at a time.
Our Philosophy: At Caring Hearts Academy we consider each child a gift from God with unique differences ranging in temperament to rate of development and that each individual is deserving of our love and respect. Our focus is on the developmental needs of the individual child, while providing quality, reliable, affordable childcare, and building meaningful, healthy relationships. We support our children as they develop physically, cognitively, socially, emotionally and spiritually according to their individual learning style.
