Dear Parents,
Hello and Welcome! It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to Windmill Creek Academy -- offering the highest quality preschool learning environment in Naples. Our mission is to develop strength of character and strong academic skills in our students. For over 25 years, the founders of Windmill Creek Academy and their families have been dedicated to the education of young children in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, and we are excited to continue the tradition in Naples. I'm proud to announce that we have won the 2009, 2010, AND 2011 Southwest Florida CHOICE Awards', "Best Child Care," THREE years in a row! The award is a testament to our dedicated teachers and staff. Our preschool program guides and encourages even our youngest students on the path to academic excellence -- while celebrating each child's creativity and unique gifts. Love, acceptance, and the joy of childhood guide our Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy. Our goal is that Windmill Creek Academy “graduates” leave not only as great students but also as children of great character. We are not simply a child care center, run-of-the-mill preschool or day care-- we are Naples' finest preschool provider -- offering you and your family the peace of mind that your child will experience hands-on learning in a happy, creative and academic environment! We are also Naples' best value . . . our tuition rates include snack and our school is open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Another unique feature of our school is our bi-weekly music class! I hold several degrees in music and love to lead music with the children. I play our state-of-the art digital Yamaha piano while we all sing, dance and act out the music. Even our youngest students enjoy music time! We accept students as young as six week old and serve pre-kindergarten and VPK students.
Please feel free to call for more information or to schedule a tour of our preschool campus. I look forward to learning more about you and your child and what we can bring to your child’s creative and academic abilities!
Looking forward to meeting you,
Janine Connell
Founder & Director, Windmill Creek Academy
