North Madrona ChildrenÕs Academy

North & West Madrona Children's Academy is a pioneering Early Learning Center dedicated to providing an all-day Preschool Program that caters to the needs of working families. Recognizing the importance of a strong educational foundation, the academy serves children aged two to five, including those with diverse learning needs such as language-based learning disabilities. The school’s core mission is to foster cognitive, social, emotional, and multi-sensory development through a rich curriculum that integrates visual arts, music, theater arts, storytelling, dance, and movement.

At Madrona, the Emergent Curriculum approach is employed to tailor learning experiences to each child's interests and strengths. Teachers actively observe and engage with students throughout their day, using these insights to create meaningful learning opportunities that build essential academic and social skills. This responsive methodology not only enhances children's learning experiences but also instills in them a sense of competence and a lifelong love for learning. The academy emphasizes collaborative decision-making among teachers, parents, and children, ensuring that the curriculum reflects both children's interests and educational necessities.

What sets North & West Madrona Children's Academy apart is its commitment to the principles of Love & Logic in guiding student behavior and decision-making. This approach fosters an environment where children learn from their choices within a framework of compassion and empathy. With a low student-teacher ratio and strong partnerships with families, the academy ensures personalized attention for each child while promoting healthy decision-making skills. Moreover, by investing in early childhood education, Madrona contributes not only to individual growth but also to the broader community’s economic vitality and well-being.
