Joshua Academy, DC

Welcome to Joshua Academy, my home-based child care and preschool program in Washington, DC. I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. Joshua Academy is located off Blair Rd NW and Kansas Ave NW, near Fort Slocum Park. We are also just a few minutes away from New Hampshire Ave NE and Georgia Ave NW. We structure our early childhood education curriculum around four key elements of development to ensure the growth of the whole child, from infant to age 5. They are: Social: Your child will communicate with others verbally and nonverbally to engage the world around them. Your child will make new friends and gain the confidence, self-esteem, and negotiating skills necessary for a lifetime of healthy relationships. Emotional: Children will enjoy a safe, nurturing “home away from home” where they can learn to express themselves and understand their own unique identities. Your child will gain the comfort and confidence to forge trusting relationships, value their individuality, and have fun just being himself. Physical: We focus on the physical health and well-being of your child so he grows up safe and strong. Motor-skill development, coordination, mobility, and exercise all help ensure your growing child has a healthy body for a lifetime. Intellectual: Our early education programs help build brain power by supporting the development of judgment, perception, memory, reasoning, critical thinking, and language through a series of age-appropriate cognitive activities are important and children learn by experiencing the world around them.
