Because of COVID-19 restrictions, HeartWorks is offering a no-cost morning program, 2020 Fall Day Camp, from 8am-noon each weekday except Wednesdays for K-8 students on their virtual learning days. Students are provided breakfast and lunch. Teachers will tutor, help with virtual learning, offer academics, and provide internet access and devices for those who don’t have these things at home.

This add-on program is designed to only last as long as COVID-19 makes virtual learning necessary. Because of COVID-19 precautions, our enrollment is restricted.

HeartWorks’ five-star preschool daycare for 1 to 5 year olds, Safe Start Academy, welcomes all children – those who are typically developing, those with special needs, and those who are exceptional. Through programming designed for each individual child, our highly educated teachers help every child learn and play at his or her own pace. Our remarkably low teacher-to-child ratio ensures that all our children receive the personal attention that they deserve.

Safe Start Academy strives to provide high quality, developmentally appropriate programming for each child in our care. Our teachers encourage each child to solve problems, ask questions, find answers, explore interesting materials, and develop curiosity. Safe Start Academy follows a play-oriented curriculum that promotes the development of self-esteem by engaging in positive guidance techniques and by showing respect for each child.

For information on our Safe Start Academy, please call 252-671-2302.
