Philosophy
At Mighty Marvels Adventure Academy (MMAA) we are eager to become that home away from home that so many families are searching for. We believe in treasuring the families most prized possessions while they are away at work. Our mission is clearly demonstrated in the exceptional quality of the service we provide. Just as our name stands to define that which is little but “Mighty” and filled with wonder “Marvels” of the adventure “Adventures” they will have at our facility “Academy”. At MMAA our childcare is top notch, we shall strive to become an asset to not only the child, but the parent and the community as well. By providing a safe, affordable, home-like atmosphere where infants and children can explore, learn and grow, we intend to stand out among our competitors. Our philosophy and values include honesty, trust and integrity as we strive to become a role model of childcare excellence in our community.
