From Home to Center

Our journey began with a shared belief in nurturing young minds. From a simple start in Hebron, we have transformed into a cherished part of the Florence community.

Humble Beginnings in Hebron

In Hebron, our story took root in a small space filled with laughter and learning. It was a place where children felt at home, and parents found partners in care. Every day was an adventure, where play was the primary tool for teaching. Children discovered the world around them through creative play, sparking curiosity and joy.

Parents appreciated the inclusive care we provided. With essentials like diapers and meals covered, they could focus on what truly mattered: their child’s growth. This approach reduced daily stresses and allowed families to feel supported and valued.

Growing with Community Support

As word spread, our community grew. Parents shared stories of their children’s progress, and neighbors became friends. This support was crucial in our expansion. Community was our foundation—we couldn’t have grown without it.

Families in Northern Kentucky recognized the value of our play-based learning philosophy. They saw first-hand how it fostered development and social skills. By keeping parents involved and informed, we strengthened these partnerships, creating a network of care and trust.

Core Values and Philosophy

Our commitment to quality care is rooted in core values that shape everything we do. We focus on play-based learning and prioritize safety and happiness for each child.

Embracing Play-Based Learning

At Tykes Academy, play isn’t just fun—it’s central to learning. Children engage in activities that stimulate their minds and help them grow. This approach nurtures creativity and problem-solving skills.

Our curriculum is designed to spark imagination, encouraging children to explore and ask questions. Through guided play, kids develop social skills and learn to work together. Parents notice the difference: their children are not only learning but enjoying the process.

Commitment to Safety and Happiness

Safety and happiness are our top priorities, because a happy child is a thriving child. Our facilities are designed with your child in mind—safe, welcoming, and filled with opportunities for discovery.

We understand that parents need peace of mind. That’s why our team is trained to create a nurturing environment where children feel secure. When children are happy, they are more open to learning and exploring new things.

Welcoming Our Florence Family

As we expanded to Florence, our mission remained the same: to provide top-notch care and education in a supportive community setting. We are excited to welcome new families into our fold.

New Beginnings in a Type I Center

Our move to Florence marked an exciting chapter. We upgraded to a licensed Type I center, enhancing our capacity to serve more families while maintaining our home-like atmosphere. This new facility allows us to offer even more to our community.
