Wholesome and delicious meals are provided for the students. We provide breakfast, lunch and snacks.
The Academy accepts children ages 6 weeks to 5th grade from 6am to 6pm.
Before and after school care is also available. Our primary mission is to support families by providing childcare in a safe and healthy Christian environment, and offer an education that promotes the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each child.
Life A-New Preparatory Academy understands that the most critical time for a child's learning begins during the early childhood years.
Many families seek to provide home-based learning to the children during these years; most are met with economic challenges that preclude such a structure.
Many are forced to work outside of the home and must find adequate care for their children as a result.
Our focus is on a quality Christian preschool and elementary program that fulfills the mandate found in Deuteronomy, "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children. Chapel services are conducted each Wednesday where children are instructed in the Word of God.
