our School
Every morning, a child's day is a clean slate.
At Camden Academy, our mission is to fill that day with experiences that promote growth, learning and well-being.
A child's developmental tasks are to build trust, recognize and learn social skills, and begin the mastery of academic skills… and by doing all that, develop positive self-esteem. To accomplish these and other goals, we engage every child in a variety of activities every day. Within the walls of our building are several learning centers for infants through after-schoolers that provide the environment to stimulate, educate and motivate. In a warm, caring atmosphere filled with warm, caring staff, your child will thrive and grow, learn and laugh, socialize all day long and come home a happy kid.
At Camden Academy, we focus all our efforts on "The Total Child,"
exposing our children to the many facets of life through age-appropriate programs that move them around throughout the day. In this way they experience different teachers, varied social situations and numerous learning opportunities in a single day.
We can't wait to meet you!

Whole Brain Teaching
... children retain more information when they have an opportunity to put it into their own words and use gestures ...
"Whole Brain Teaching, a research-based system that utilizes all areas of the brain, keeps children engaged throughout their lessons, and helps them retain much more information than the standard lecture/discussion model. Whole Brain Teaching is a highly interactive form of instruction that delivers information to students in short “chunks." Kids then teach what they have just learned to their partners, using hand-gestures to help remember specific vocabulary. While students teach each other, the teacher walks around the room to discover who understands the lesson and who needs more instruction. Research shows that children retain more information when they have an opportunity to put it into their own words and use gestures to emphasize key instructional units…plus, it’s amazingly fun!"

Potty Training Boot Camp
Camden's "Potty Training Boot Camp" did in one week what I couldn’t do in three months. John-Hartley (3 yrs) loves school now, and is actually sleeping much better at night after his full day. I can't say enough about how tuned-in to my child and his needs the staff at Camden is."
-- Jody, Camden Parent

Our Uniform Policy
Why We Wear Uniforms
When something is special, we take pride in it, we share it, we celebrate it.
Nothing is more special than our kids, and one way we at Camden Academy celebrate the uniqueness of our childcare center and the children entrusted to us is by proudly wearing the Camden colors on our Camden uniforms.
Uniforms create school spirit, even in the littlest child, and promote a feeling of community within the walls of our school as well as pride outside.
The Camden crest helps tell the world that Camden Academy is a special place, and that the children who go here are special, too.
