FAA Puddle Jumpers: High-Quality Early Childhood Education
FAA Puddle Jumpers is a NAEYC-accredited childcare center dedicated to nurturing the “whole child.” Through a collaborative approach involving families, professional staff, and the community, we support every stage of development—social, physical, emotional, cognitive, and language.
As a NAEYC-accredited program, we exceed the 10 national standards for high-quality early childhood education. Our center features small class sizes and highly trained teachers who deliver a customized creative curriculum. By tailoring our teaching to each child’s unique needs, we ensure a more effective, meaningful, and engaging learning experience.
Why Choose a NAEYC-Accredited Child Care Center?
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is the premier organization for early childhood educators in the United States. NAEYC accreditation is the “gold standard” for early learning programs; it is only awarded to centers that consistently meet rigorous, high-quality excellence standards.
We have achieved this level of excellence because we believe every child deserves the highest level of service. For more information regarding the benefits of NAEYC-accredited early childhood education, please visit the official NAEYC website.
Our Child-Led Learning Philosophy
Our mission is to build positive teacher-child relationships through a curriculum driven by student interests and curiosities. We treat learning as a natural, self-directed process that flourishes in an intentional environment.
Active Discovery & Observation
Educators facilitate growth through learning centers where children investigate via art, play, and social interaction. By encouraging students to observe, deconstruct, and build, we ensure they are active participants in their education. We carefully document these interactions to plan customized activities that bridge student interests with essential developmental milestones.
Building a Strong Community: The Family-School Partnership
We believe that early childhood education is most effective when it is a collaborative effort. Our center emphasizes a strong community bond between school and home. By working together, teachers, staff, and parents ensure that each child’s unique interests and developmental needs are met.
Through this partnership, we develop a customized individual care plan for every student, updating it regularly as your child reaches new milestones. By pairing expert educators with parents, we help children acquire the essential social skills, positive attitudes, and habits needed for lifelong success in school and beyond.
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and care. From February 19, 2025, to May 19, 2025, the Department of Health & Human Services placed specific conditions on our license (F23-108538).
