Footprints Aademy has been a blessing to our family. The time spent with our children has been cherished as it was a critical moment of transition in our lives. They’ve taught them so many life skills at their delicate ages and we couldn’t be more happy! - The King Family

Philosophy

At Footprints Academy, we believe in providing intentional, purposeful, engaging experiences that promote a love for learning and encourage exploration and problem solving. Our innovative and inspiring approach values children as strong, capable, and resilient individuals, fostering a sense of wonder and knowledge. We prioritize high-quality, developmentally appropriate experiences focused on each child’s unique abilities. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of family, community, and child interconnections for a truly impactful educational journey. Artistic expression, play, and social development are key components of our philosophy, ensuring children are supported in expressing their creativity and building their social skills through play.

Location

Located in the beautiful Inspirada community where the growth and development of the community are in full bloom. Adjacent to Atessa Park, walking distance to the Henderson Library and less than a 3-minute drive from Inspirada’s central parks.

Footprints Academy lies in the neighborhood away from the city traffic, local bars, and convenience stores that may become a hazard or distraction with noise and movement.

About our program

We lead with the emphasis on these values: For ourselves, for each other, for Earth, WE CARE!

We see the many strengths in children and allow those strengths to naturally unfold, while also providing parents strength-based and important feedback on the challenges and areas that parents can continue to help guide and build upon at home.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga and Meditation ✨

Incorporating yoga and meditation into the daily routine reduces stress, enhances mental clarity, and improves the child’s physical well-being. Discover the transformative power of these practices and find balance in your life and your child’s.

🌈 Inspiring Creativity in Our Children ✨ Encouraging your child’s creativity through unstructured play, storytelling, and exploring different art forms. Celebrating their efforts and providing a space for imaginative expression to help them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

🌍 Inspiring Through Nature: Nature is a wonderful source of inspiration. Through walks, exploring parks, and simply spending time in the outside. We encourage kids to observe and create based on what they see and experience outdoors.

📚 Encouraging Reading and Storytelling: Books open up new worlds and ideas. We encourage our children to read and tell their own stories. Through asking open-ended questions, we can spark their imagination.

👩‍🍳✨Make Cooking and Meal Prep Fun for Kids 🍎 Getting our kids involved in the kitchen to teach them healthy eating habits and essential life skills. We turn meal prep into a fun, educational activity that sparks their creativity and encourages family bonding.
