WELCOME

Congrats on your Admission!

On behalf of the Team, welcome to the family. We are thrilled to add you and your family to the tribe. As a small, family-owned business, we are incredibly grateful to do what we love. It’s your support that allows us to provide a warm and loving community for hundreds of kiddos, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity to serve you and your families childcare needs.


At our Academy, we like to think of ourselves as an extension of your family and want you to feel “homey" when you are at the Center. For this reason, we have dedicated this page to catching you up to speed with all things The Summit Academy. Read below for more information as you begin your journey!
